More likely the former than the latter. If you wish to discuss it further, feel free to PM me. I'll be happy to clarify what I meant. I can say, however, that I do not recall ever saying anything to you that would be considered an insult here in my own country, so if it is considered an insult in yours, I should probably know about it so I don't repeat the behavior.

I don't think there's a need for that. It's more like the case that I just misunderstood your intentions. Sometimes language can be tricky.
