No worries. I appreciate the point you were trying to make, and to a certain extent I feel your frustration with people being complete jerks. At that point, my gut feel was enough points on not being jerks had been made, and I was worried that the jerkness would re invade. Your heart is in the right place, no question.
My heart goes out the folks over there who had this horrible accident drop in on the National Day. Very sad.
