Seems I have seriously offended you by disagreeing with some of your posts in the past although many of them I have supported as well.
I have some strong opinions at times and not all are right, but I mean no personal offense usually.

Well, first of all, I have not "gone all haywire" at anyone, let alone at you. I made a post expressing astonishment, you asked if it was directed at you, I stated that it was directed at the thread in general but offered an opinion on something you said that apparently was written out of context (about Physical Ability rather than Legality) and which I mistakenly took to be an in-context remark on the subject at hand.
I'm not offended, but I do confess to be confused when people make an out-of-context statement that can be easily taken to be an in-context one (again, the Physical Ability "can" versus the Legality "can").
And I do not quote when I am responding to multiple people or the general thread. Because quoting -- as I pointed out when you quoted Elfwreck -- usually conveys that the remark is both directed at a specific person and is topically related to what they were talking about. As opposed to a general observation.
