As I've explained multiple times, I never intended anything of the sort. My question was asked out of honest curiosity, because I didn't immediately see how it was hooked up in the source. I never doubted its existence, just didn't see it. Out of laziness I asked about it in the shoutbox.
I'm sorry you took it as any kind of accusation or implication that you were lying. It was never intended as such. You just went off on me and refused to believe my intentions were anything but pure.
> Why are you still acting like you don’t know why it offended me so badly?
Because I 100% in all honesty had no idea, and to this day I still don't know why you read it that way. The shoutbox is ephemeral, but go back and read the discord "conversation" (mostly you ranting at me and never answering any of my questions).
I said over and over I didn't understand, apologized, and then deleted the question out of respect, even though I had no idea why you were upset. If you don't believe me or can't let it go at this point, then that's on you. I was borderline obsequious in my responses, and tried my best to appease you over what was clearly a misunderstanding. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
