In another thread during the past week or so, I made a slightly off-color post regarding **Coldfire**. I thought it was kinda funny, but his reaction in that thread indicated he felt otherwise.

So I just wanted to say I was sorry that I posted it - no hard feelings?

[And no, I’m not gonna link to it - sorry about that, too. If you guys saw it, you know which thread I mean.]

The one where you staged a little play involving a certain part of my anatomy?

While I certainly wouldn’t call it a healthy interest, I did not take offense. No harm done.

As you were.

Oh, come on. Not even a little cite? How can we forgive you if we don’t know what you did?

So without a cite the rest of us here are just going to have to ponder about _al_l the bits and pieces of Coldy’s anatomy?

I can live with that. 🙂

Come on, we all know that **Coldie** needs a wheelbarrow for his bits. Why would that be insulting?

Now needing a magnifying glass and a pair of tweezers—that’s insulting!

'Twas a comment that didn’t seem too over the top, compared to some posts on here, and you apologized in the thread. If you still felt bad, why not e-mail **Coldie** instead of posting it here and making me waste server time to find the post?

You post a lot of one-liners…

Well. If you didn’t want to waste the server, you could have emailed me yourself. So nyah.
