I don't know how to say this except for saying I'm sorry I hurt you. I was trying to be stern and make someone understand that they must change the way they were caring for their tortoises before someone got sick, and in doing that I hurt a person. I didn't mean to do that. I had no intention in hurting someone. I won't say I was misunderstood, I will say I was too stern or too emphatic with my words. It is very hard to make feelings understood with the written word. Sometimes it comes off as TOO emphatic or TOO stern and that is what happened this time. I am sorry I hurt you foxboysracing. I am very seriously sorry I hurt your feelings. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I did mean to be stern, to make you understand that the way you were caring for your tortoises was not good for them. I did mean to make you understand you need to change the way you keep them, I did mean to make you take a look at the way you were keeping them and that you really needed to change. I did not mean to hurt you. I wanted you to understand that you had to change the way you were keeping them, that for the love of the animals you had to change. I meant to be stern, I did not and had no intention whatsoever to be mean and hurt you. It is hard with the written word to draw that fine line between stern and too stern/hurtful. I am sorry. I am very sorry. I don't apologize for my intention of making you see how you keep them is wrong and you need to change. But I do apologize for hurting you. I wanted to make you see I was not just blabbing some unimportant bad advice. But I did not intend to be mean. I will not ask you to accept my apology right now while your feelings are raw. But I will say I did not intend to be mean and I do intend on making as sincere an apology as can be made. I am seriously sorry I hurt your feelings, that was not my intent in the least and that does no good in making you care in a different way for your tortoises. I am sorry. I don't know how many different ways I can say that. I am not sorry for what I was trying to make you understand, but I am sorry for hurting you. I am sorry for hurting your feelings. I am seriously sorry for hurting your feelings.
