You can't win with a racist. But I'm trying anyhow: Could I get a little help here?

[Max Blair]

With all due respect, Jan, my initial read causes me to find your quoted remark insulting. I am inclined to take umbrage, but I don't know you and you don't know me. Maybe I'm just in a bad mood. I will strive not to rush to judgement. I think you should as well.

Don't patronise me.

You asked for infomation, in a very coy way, and then spurned it, suggesting a sympathy for extreme racist views.

You're a guest here, and I'm sorely tempted to show you the door.

I beg your pardon. I truly did not mean to give offense. I do not believe that I spurned any information presented to me. I insist it was not my intent. Please show me precisely where you think that I did so that I may clarify what I posted and apologize. I am genuinely distressed by what you have written.
