Maybe you worded it wrong? Or it had alot of typos? Or you meant it one way and people took it another way?
What did you do about it?

I have only started maybe 5 discussions on here so there aren't any that I really wish I hadn't posted.

I've never started a discussion, only to regret it, but I've read other discussions on here apologizing for previous discussions started earlier. I feel bad when I see that because I'm sure that person had good intentions when they originally posted. This is a one-dimensional medium we communicate in and some things are misconstrued because you can't read the intonation of the post. We're only human and sometimes we make mistakes, but we shouldn't be too hard on ourselves because of it.

I think you hit it exactly right - we can't always get the tone of the post "right". I've seen other apology discussions too.
