Maybe we should just stop commenting about whether or not something is AI generated. It doesn't add anything to the discussion, and is a waste of time.

An apology (in advance or afterward) doesn't absolve you of responsibility. And if you feel the need to apologize for something in advance, that's a huge clue that maybe you should stop yourself from doing the thing you've just apologized for.

Ok, sure!

As for the rest, "excuse me if I'm wrong" is a very common and valid phrase, though a bit ruined by sarcastic misuse

I attempted to show with it that I don't assume anything or default to hostility, though on a different occasion you'd yourself probably argue that others feelings are not my responsibility.

I'm not sorry for asking the question, unless t0mas88 got offended by it.

		You really seem determined to keep digging this hole.

Finding oneself with the need to apologize in advance is an excellent hint to examine extra hard if you really should do what you're apologizing for. Apologizing when necessary is good, not having to apologize is much better.

It's a great level-up for characters of most alignments.

I’d recommend giving your own goodwill in the future instead of accusing commenters and then asking for goodwill in response.

		I did. By apologising and making a question, not accusation. The commenter himself didn't seem hurt by it. I'd recommend raising your outrage threshold. I clearly am keeping this light hearted, while you go into fight mode because you saw the word "offence". Loosen up a bit :)
