          Prem ! I'm truly sorry if I offended you - my apologies.
          What I was hoping to achieve was, since you wrote a satirical
          response to my somewhat serious article, I thought I could
          poke some light hearted fun and give you some light hearted
          jabs at you. I didn't mean to offend you. I hope you'd accept
          my apology.

       I agree with you that you didn't use name calling and that's why
       I thought probably I could take the liberty of poking some fun
       at you but unfortunately my words were perceived as offensive
       or that I seriosuly  meant to compare your satire with the
       hilarious Natarajan's words. I was merely teasing you, sorry
       if i crossed my limits ( since obviously I don't know you
       personally).

         I did not mean it the way you appear to have perceived. 
         In retrospect, I feel that I should have added a winker
         (-; after the exclamation. Sorry again.
