He apologised. People apologise when they think they did something wrong.
Um, clearly you're not married
Um, clearly your comment in this context reveals how you treat your spouse and reflects on the state of your marriage, not mine
Sorka's comment was obviously a joke, as evidenced by the winking smiley face. It also did not portray you in a bad light, even in a joking manner. The "butt" of the joke was all married people. Since Sorka has posted about his wife on more than one occasion, he was actually poking fun at himself too.
Your response, on the other hand, Auzie, was, in my opinion, mean-spirited. You brought Sorka's relationship with his wife and his marriage into what had been intended as a good-natured joke in a nasty way. Adding the smiley face doesn't make it OK, again, in my opinion. It's one thing to make a joke that takes a funny, harmless crack at all married couples, and another thing entirely to actually make a negative comment, even if the intent was humor, about one particular member's marriage.
