I wasn't being deliberately antagonistc; I didn't know you'd be so upset at my attempts at humour. I'm not apoligising for them, as this is intensity and I expect people here to be more robust than that, but I will be more direct with you in future, and refrain from my usual banter when dealing with you now that I'm aware of your sensitivites.
Peter, it's okay. I know there's no way you could have realistically known I'd get that mad. I'm not asking for an apology, it's not that big a deal, I got over it. My purpose was not so much as to demand that you tiptoe around me, but to vent about something that really bugs me, in an atmosphere where I'm not going to have mods jumping down my throat for daring to get angry at someone. I know I've got flaws, and this was part of a larger plan to cure myself of one of them, by proving to myself that I could actually speak up about it. The atmosphere of Intensity trumps my stupid little personal sensitivity - no matter what I say, you don't have to hold back in the future unless you want to.
Sorry if I sound contradictory. Not sure how else to explain.
