I promise you, if I thought it was a problem, I would have asked you to move the story. It wasn't a problem, but it did remind me that I'd better say something so that others didn't do the same thing.
Thinking about it, though, I can see how you might have interpreted what I said as a passive-aggressive comment on you, which I did not mean, and that others might have seen it the same way. Again, did not mean this!
So, I'm just going to have to try harder next time, and, knowing me, I might still do the same thing all over again. I'm really sorry if I caused you any embarrassment because all I want to do is hug and squish you, not make you feel bad. We're all passive-aggressive sometimes, but I wasn't thinking about it that way here.
It even took me this long to realize what I'd done. I really am that dense sometimes. *frown*
