It's phrased to imply...

Although others may be falling over themselves to apologize to you (okay, me too) - let me take this opportunity to thank you for another beautiful turn of phrase.

ADDED: Now, I see that the problem was that I had a tag for his name and I misspelled it. That brought an obscenity... and a connection to a commenter who took a racial point of view. What a jerk.

Wow Ann, that's phrased to imply that it's rude to pick on your horribly bad reednigs komprayhenshuns.  It's phrased to imply that Ta-Nahoweveryouuspellit is a big meanie for pickin' on teh illiterate.  Okay, you got a point.  Coates should be ashamed for kicking at someone as mentally handicapped as you.
