If you are referring to ME, I meant it in the sense of "I was only mentioning it, I didn't mean anything by it.".

"I have always used the term as, "Your comment was intellectually bereft and the necessity to lower myself to acknowledge it, let alone respond to it, almost makes me look like I'm as huge an imbecile as you are - but someone had to do it!"

It reminds me of "No offense". you can say it...and then say the most evil thing you can say to a person. They can't take offence...because you said "No offence".

These cultural unwritten laws just crack me up.

When I use that phrase, I'm really saying, "Here are the facts; I'm going to be polite and not call you stupid in public, but the facts contradict what you're saying, honey."

It seems many of the people that use it think it's a "get out of jail free card". They think they can say anything they want, then disclaim any responsibility for their comments.
