Not at all. Exactly how have you been "insulted"?
What I am trying to achieve is a response like this:
You: "This is very odd, why have they had this exercise? I've never heard of this before, do they know something and aren't telling us?"
Me: "This isn't odd, they do it every year. Nothing to panic about and this isn't some evil plot. here is a link to HF&R showing they do this
exercise every year"
You: "Oh really. I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing that out".
End of discussion...
Instead, it's gone soemthing like this..
You: "This is very odd, why have they had this exercise? I've never heard of this before, do they know something and aren't telling us?"
Me: "This isn't odd, they do it every year. Nothing to panic about and this isn't some evil plot. here is a link to HF&R showing they do this
exercise every year"
You: "I don't believe you. Are you calling me stupid? This is something very odd and they are planning something"
Me:"No they're not. Don't get all panicky, all I am trying to do is show you this is media hype"
You: "I don't believe you! You're wrong! Stop insulting my intelligence, I know this is fishy and nothing you say will change my mind!"
Me: "Meh, whatever...."
