Hey, aloofi, you may have the same problem as I do. Boy, sometimes I hear the words in my mind, juggle them around, and type at the same time. Sometimes, the two are different.

Kind of an example:

In my military days...I was in an audience of soldiers who were asking a general on the stage some questions. Many of the questions were phrased badly. He had to ask for clarification. Finally, when I was called upon, I prefaced my question with the remark that I would try to phrase my question so he could understand it. I meant it to be that others hadn't done so. He took it that I was insinuating he was stupid. Immediately afterward, I was explaining myself to the company commander. Ugh!

Regardless, you have indicated you may have worded things badly. Anyone who can admit to "slipping" has a quality many don't.

I certainly didn't mean this to be any kind of "Aloofi bashing". (trying to explain myself... ) It's just I thought it might make you see there might have been other things that got your rating lowered.
