well now that the fck-ups are out of the way

But I digress. I guess I didn't realize that in the wake of your absence on here (which, I might add, no one seemed to notice), you lost some sense of humor. I was only joking, not harm meant, until now. Later, QD.

If no harm was meant until now, do you now mean that you meant harm? Or that the harm that meant no harm now has meaning? Or does the meaning really have no meaning at all?

I'm confused.
