"Yeah, sorry I said something that was incorrect. I meant to say something that wasn't incorrect."

I've seen more ballsy responses than this, but not many.

I don't understand. Metus flatly admitted error, end of story.

For clarity, I found what Metus said to be very funny. I commented because I wanted to underscore the humour, not because I wanted to be critical.

Well, it wasn't intended as a kind comment either, but it clearly fell a lot flatter than I thought it would.
