I think that this must be a cultural thing. I can see how somebody
would see the third person style as overly formal or stilted. An
interpretation like that does make sense to me. But I knew of no
reason why you might find that style made the message offensive. It
was never intended to denigrate.
I don't know you all that well, but we have talked for quite a while
on a few occasions. I got the sense that you are a decent person from
these conversations. I have no possible reason to denigrate or insult
you. In general I try to be respectful, and if I ever fail it's not
because I didn't care at all. Anybody that knows me well knows that I
am not a mean spirited person.
If this is just an unfortunate misunderstanding, as I suspect it is,
then I would be happy to let it go, and treat it as something to learn
from.
