to be a bit clearer, this is the internal dialogue i envision:
them: "[whatever]" you: "omg fail" them: okay, he's just been rude about something i said them: but it's none of his business them: and who's to say which of us is right anyway? certainly not him them: but wait - maybe he, personally, was offended by what i said them: that would explain it them: *nods sagely* them: okay, even if he doesn't have a point, why hurt his feelings? them: "i'm sorry if i offended you"
