"Mr Bond, I think you, SSM and Earl Gray owe me an apology. "
I don't think so. You asked for thoughts as to why people thought what you said was offensive and people answered. You can't attack people for expressing what you asked for. You expressed your opinion, they are expressing theirs.
For my part, I didn't have name calling or whatever in my posts to you. And the most personal thing I asked was if you expected your Ds to follow the same expectations as you do with your W. It boils down to the idea that many times the situations are much more complex than you initially stated.
IMHO you have a tendency to overreact to things and either attack or retaliate if you think you're being attacked. Like I mentioned how your relating Hitler to a WAS was way off base AND offensive. You can't throw out a name like Hitler and expect not to offend people.
So no, I don't owe you an apology.
