Mani..if I may? I come from a place where I was called a liar when I mentioned my friend died. It was devastating. Call me *****, call me drama whore, or weak or not thick skinned enough.... call me whatever feels right, but don't call me a liar when something as bad as that is commented on. It was my mistake for mentioning it to begin with, but the results of that mistake far outweight my mistake. Nobody lies about something like that. And if they do, then...that person is to be pitied for having to resort to such things for attention.
It is quite obvious that what you said really hurt Ollie. Not piss him off. HURT. Now I know I'm at USMB and I already got the gist that is one shows any kind of weakness...they are eaten. Still....I have also seen people apologize for saying something that was OTL (over the line). It didn't hurt them to say it, either. They are still the same person..asshole or fluffpuff or in between.
I guess what I'm saying is...I can relate to how Ollie feels. And I don't even know him. Hell, I don't know ANY of you. I'm still new here. But I can still "read" written emotions..and I'm not poisoned enough to not feel it when someone else gets slammed.
