This is the last I'm saying to you on this topic:

Sometimes you wrong someone. Sometimes you do something classless. Maybe it's very deliberate, and maybe it's due to your sloppy carelessness, as Edme has copped to in this case.

In that situation, it's all on you. It's not on the other person. Everything you do to justify it or minimize it or recast the other person as the bad guy is wrong. This goes as well for your friends or random people sympathizing with you.

You may have to suck up some unkind words for what you've done - tough. You've earned them and the anger behind them, and you have to just deal with it.
