I just want to take a moment and apologize if anyone was offended

A couple of days ago, I posted a thread on the lottery:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018390484

It was intended in fun, but apparently I offended some folks. If you are one among the offended, I offer my heartfelt apology.

If, on the other hand, you live in Tampa, and hold the winning ticket, I offer my congratulations.

14. I noticed that a lot of people on the internet just want attention. They aren't really offended.

I kid, I kid.

Aw c'mon...someone was offended?

Things are really getting grim when a post like that offends someone.

5. Someone put me on ignore. I assume as a result of that post

I say plenty of things in GD and elsewhere to tick people off, but I really do try not to tick folks off in Teh Lounge.

7. I can't imagine anyone in Teh Lounge

putting you on ignore for that post. While we may be a bit twisted, it's a pretty tolerant crowd as you probably know!

I wander into GD just to pick up an ignore...honestly! I had been holding steady for months... started going into GD again and doing more than read... Picked up another ignore the other day! It's hilarious!

I wouldn't worry about it. It never ceases to amaze me how easily peeved people can get sometimes.
