He's my best friend in real life and he and I talked about that thread as he posted it so I already knew precisely where he was coming from when he wrote it. I gave you the negative rep before I saw your follow up post. I follow Out To Lunch's acccount because I knew his original intent and it had nothing to do with you. I was very surprised at your reaction to his words and it didn't occur to either of us that you thought he was referencing a past post of yours. So you can imagine how it looked from our end, just as I can imagine how it must have looked from yours based on that assumption.
Anyway, my rep wasn't to kick you while you were down so I apologise if it made you feel that way. My rep was based solely on the content of your post, nothing that came after it.
And thank you for enjoying my writing
