Personally I can't really find anything wrong with what you said either, but then I'm not exactly very good with social ettiquette or being able to properly interpert people and what they are saying. And it's even harder online, when you can't hear people's tone of voice or see their facial expressions. I tend to get lectured alot about saying things that are innapropriate or for having an "attitude" when I didn't mean to. My usual tactic is to try to run things through in my head a couple times before I speak/hit send, and try to see if something could be taken wrong. If someone still gets offended, I apologize, and leave it at that. If people still give me grief AFTER the apology, then I tell them to piss off. (Because I may lack social skills, but even I know that harrassing someone over an innocent mistake is just plain petty)
