The use of ellipses for dramatic silence , elongated words, and the personal targeting of your statements ("YOU all have known..." "YOU never noticed") indicate that "There was no offense intended." was really just a statement made for the sake of indemnifying yourself from the backlash of impersonal comments made about the death of another human, rather than a statement of ignorance and apology.
I don't honestly believe you when you say that you felt this thread was about the radio show going off the air rather than subject/topic line itself (the death of a person). I think that's an excuse to make your actions appear more excusable.
RIP Tom. You shaped much of my youth.
- teddyh 12y agoI have never actually heard the show, so yes, I did actually think that at least half the focus was that the show would end – the show’s name is also in the title. Furthermore, since I never listened to the show, I excluded myself by writing “you” instead of “us”. If I were to analyze your statements as you did mine, I might come to the conclusion that you are merely lashing out at anyone who seem to be insensitive to your loss. But I shouldn’t do that, as ascribing motives to you would demean this conversation. It’s better to keep things civil and polite. I made some statements about the status of the show – nothing about the person, mind you – and they were misinterpreted as insensitive to the person. I made clarifications, but now you won’t believe me. I really don’t see what else I can do, now. I will certainly refrain from commenting in mortuary articles from now on – there appears to often be too much grief for actual civilized discourse.
