>>>>>1) I'm sorry - not my desire at all. I accept responsibility for being thoughtless.
2) This is one step beyond "sensitive". It's a selective rejection of other supportive things I said. Check your compass cuz you're off course.<<<<<

I won't accept any apology if you keep blaming me. You did something offensive, as you admit, and I was offended. That ought to be the end of it.

If you don't think I have the right to be offended, don't bother to apologize.

That's what I mean about the California way of doing things. No offense to the entire state of California. It's the subtle twist of the chain of responsibility, so that it's my fault or error or lapse for being offended by what you ought to know is offensive.

You have never known me to tell an ethnic joke. I don't, and I don't countenance them. I do tease about engineers, and I tease about lawyers, too. A week or two ago I was teasing about how there is nothing sadder than a lawyer trying to get wild and crazy, it's even sadder than an engineer or an accountant trying to get wild and crazy. But that's a far cry from accusing an entire profession of being liars, cheats and theives.
