Considering you're the one who got all snippy that I said something as a compliment, it seems this bit of miscommunication all started because both of us were assumin' things. I'm sorry for what I said, I shouldn't have been thinkin' everything you know is the same as what I do, but you weren't helping by not explaining that's some terrible insult in your world.
I'm supposed to know enough about you to get all this when I just got here, but it's okay for you to jump to conclusions about what I said without even askin'? How is that fair?
