i am really sorry about the way i was treating you last night. Trying to make you do my lines for me was wrong and i shouldn't have done that. it was an attempt to be funny as all sarcasm is but it evidently did not work, hence Ro's reaction and your reaction at the time.
unfortunately, to quote Allan Sloan 'I grew up in an environment of jokes and sarcasm and puns. I talk that way, so I write that way' and sarcasm does not always convey itself in text form. I must remember this in future. i fear that (once again i quote, this time Marianne Moore) i am 'suffering from too much sarcasm.' if people are to believe what i am saying and realise my exact tone, i must cut back.

once again i am sorry for my comments to you last night
