Just being the oddball in the room, but I saw nothing wrong with your response. Peter said no thanks to being asked if they wanted to build it and be paid. And I'm with you, ok fine they don't want to help. Nothing wrong that. Perhaps you might have given a more favorable response in their eyes if Peter had said something like no thanks, I only offer my time and skills for free rather than simply coming across as refusing to help on this project entirely not just for the fact that you were offering to pay.

That's not the part we are referring to. It's the "siiiiigh fine" when the offer was turned down. theres nothing there to indicate that was said in good humour. Peter included a with his refusal to indicate good will and it was not reciprocated in the reply. Contextual clues are everything for a toneless format. Peter shouldn't need to give context for saying no in order to get a polite response. It wound up being a misunderstanding but literally one emote would have changed how that sentence came across. That's all anyone is getting at Edit: besides, how the rest of us feel is unimportant really. Peter felt slighted because of the comment, and as it was directed to him his perception is the one that matters.

I get it, I understand. I dont see a as a joking thing so I guess there are a lot of ways to go about it XD I understand I can't joke with people or use joking sarcasm. Again, apologies. I really do appreciate all of the help I get from you guys and did not intend to offend anyone.
