"If I am offending you Steve by butchering the Queens english I humbly apologize.You see I have made a special effort this time.I should hate to think you might dismiss my Saviour on account of his follower,s grammer.Truth to tell,I am no whizz on technology so I am unlikely to maintain this standard and anyway have you never seen the example of mixed up spelling ,but which most people can read none-the-less.I suspect my post simply annoyed you, so you resorted to ridicule.Following the teaching of my Lord Jesus Christ I shall do the opposite-bless you Steve[ oh and by the way,I said one for you-as they say in these parts!]."

I am neither offended by your butchering of the queer old dean's English nor am I annoyed by anything you say in your posts (perplexed by your utterly cloudy thinking, perhaps). Carry on. But, whilst I am not personally offended by it (I'm far too busy being amused), I think it is generally offensive to patronise people who disagree with you by telling them that you're blessing/praying for them. Bless me and pray for me as much as you like (you could far more profitably be drinking single malt in front of a good western, but hey), but keep it severely to yourself is my advice. But it's a free country and you're free to make an arse of yourself in that way if you really want to.
