[DML] Re: Keeping a Sour Exchange Alive

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I never publicly identified you as the eMailer. 

Nobody "attacked" you or your car. You jokingly said the toy DeLorean on the toy tow truck must have had a carburetor. I jokingly replied that it had a Nissan engine (which wasn't the source of the tow, BTW -- a dead onboard computer was. Go back and reread my reply). 

I am terribly sorry your feelings were so hurt by that ridiculously innocuous exchange. Perhaps you should never had started it (don't hit a ball onto someone else's side of the court unless you are willing to have them hit it hit back)
