That someone would think that "you moron," or "you idiot" could be automatically implied as being appended to the statement never occurred to me. Which is the only way I can see the phrase "I can assure you" being considered inherently condescending in any way.
Thanks for your insight into chronology, though. "I can assure you" that it's appreciated.  |
I didn't take it as condescending so much as argumentative. I've already explained why I decide what order I like to read series. I have no desire to defend why someone else might prefer a given order, even if you don't wish to read a series in that order.
