marketgirl Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I am SO happy someone brought that up! "No offense, but..." whether you're trying to make a good point or not (more often - not) is the worst way to start a sentence. And "I'm sorry you feel that way..." is code for "it's really your fault, not mine." It's funny that the person saying either phrase does so in an attempt to diffuse the situation!
