Yes, I skipped the apology because everyone over the age of six knows that an apology isn't sincere if the person apologizing deliberately insults you immediately after apologizing. It wasn't appropriate for you to make that comment at all, and pretending it was is just silly. You just don't say shit like that to people. I'm not accepting that that's miscommunication, because no one does that, and that's not a cultural thing. That's not normal or nice and you're old enough to know better.
