I don’t think you did. You wouldn’t believe how many people will see a comment like mine and respond as though I’ve been openly and proudly bigoted. I can even calmly respond and tell them I meant nothing like that but usually they’ve already made up their mind.

It’s a good thing to give people benefit of doubt by default. I don’t always do it but it’s really a lot easier to have an exchange of ideas when a party tries a little extra hard to be fair, which I got from you. Thanks again!
