Sorry to butt in...

She's told you she's taken it seriously, not as a joke, and she's
asked for you to just forget the whole thing. No means no. Take
the hint.

No need to push her further and aggravate the issue. We don't
know what she might be going through in her personal life, and we
don't need to. Just respect her request.

I've posted my last reply to her. It was a simple joke, for God's sakes. Are

People like Jufi don't understand hints. Got a 2x4 somewhere? That might
get his undivided attention, but I doubt it. Scum is scum is scum.

Sorry, we're not all as well attuned to total strangers emotions as you. But
calling me scum? Huh? That's a step up?
