I read the comment in a more humorous light than you did OP. Wasn't offensive at all. More a statement that things are indeed moving fast, and any one of us is likely to get out of sync.

Arizona state Rep. Mark Finchem, a Republican who is currently running for Arizona secretary of state, was briefly sidelined on Twitter before being swiftly reinstated less than one hour after Elon Musk, who recently acquired the social media platform, took notice of Finchem's plight.
On Monday afternoon, Finchem posted a screenshot on Truth Social of a notice that said his Twitter account had been temporarily placed in "read-only mode" because he had supposedly violated Twitter's rules.
"Twitter has blocked my account from speaking truth with one week left until the election. They are trying to put their thumb on the scales of this election. Tag Elon Musk and tell him to unban me right now. I am the Secretary of State nominee in a swing state running against the criminal Soros-funded candidate," Finchem wrote.
Finchem later posted another screenshot of a notice that indicated that he had less than 11 hours left until his account would return to normal functionality.

Jenna Ellis tweeted about the platform's move to block Finchem, writing, "@elonmusk this shouldn't happen a week before the election!"
"Looking into it," Musk replied.
Election denier Mark Finchem’s sleeper campaign closes in on MAGA prize
The Oath Keeper hoping to run Arizona’s elections is getting outspent 40 to 1 and makes few press or campaign appearances. He still might pull it off.

PHOENIX — On the night Mark Finchem won the Republican nomination for Arizona’s secretary of state, he didn’t have a victory party. Instead, he showed up at the party for GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.
A few weeks after the primary, Finchem drove up alone outside a meeting of hundreds of party activists, dropped off some gear, and left without speaking.
You need to keep up, things are moving fast
Bit of an arseole comment that. i try to keep up but i am busy and don't get everything.
I'm sure it could have been worse :P
True much worse to be a sanctimonious cunt
Nice.
Apologies that was meant as a joke but didn't translate well now that i read it back.
Np, I have thick skin so I wasn't too fussed but I'm glad to hear it wasn't intentional.
I read the comment in a more humorous light than you did OP. Wasn't offensive at all. More a statement that things are indeed moving fast, and any one of us is likely to get out of sync.
So was mine but i guess sarcasm doesn't come across well in a post
Good thing we're all on the same team, eh?
