Again, I'm sorry you felt the need to bring it up in here. I'm sorry that
when you mentioned Classic Castle I mentioned Classic Space. It was rather
mean of me to attempt a humorous jibe/pun. My bad.

I'm sorry that jokingly I've said castles are grey boxes on the ground and
space is blue boxes that fly. Good that you don't generalize ribbing, but
you stick to specifics and specific people's work. That's better.

I'm sorry if I inferred anything. I know you like to discuss castle, and
anime, and dragons, and stuff. I'm sorry if space has been discussed a lot
lately in the chat and people enjoy it.

I'm sorry that your end of the "rivalry" ended up in your anger. If the
picture on www.classic-space.com has disrupted Lugnet then I'm sorry. A
bunch of us got a great laugh because of the silly smily face space man.
OOO SteveR gave me a super picture to add... it's naughty.

Again, I'm sorry that you got angry.

I'm sorry that I didn't spell something wrong (which I usually do) so you
could tease me back. Again it's good that you don't feel bad about focusing
your teasing on someone's simple mistakes. It's bad to make jokes regarding
a general theme, and participating in bantering humor that a bunch of people
get.

I'm sorry I've made life bad for you, I didn't realize the power I had I
guess. Thanks for helping me realize it.
