Although there is an element of truth in this, you were out of order. 
You apologised and that should be the end of it for everyone.

It's only fun when it's Gnome v KDE, vim v emacs or Debian v everybody :)

Joke for everyone:

There were three strings that walked into the bar. They sat down and 
they didn''t get waited on so the first string walked up to the bar and 
asked for three beers. The bartender said, ''I'm sorry buddy we don''t 
serve strings in here.'' The string walks back to the table and and 
tells his friends what the bartender said.

''I''ve been here before and gotten a drink, I''ll go get us something 
to drink,'''' said the second string. The second sting walks up to the 
bar and politely asks the bartender for three beers.

The bartender says, ''I thought I told your buddy we don't serve strings 
in here.''' So the second string walks back and and tells his friends 
what has happened.

The thrid string says '''Oh, I come in here all the time, I know how to 
order something to drink'' The third sting walks to the restroom where 
he ties himself up and muffs up his end. He then walks out to the bar 
and asks the bartender for three beers.

The bartender kind of looks at him weird and says, ''You a string?''

"Frayed knot,''he replies.
