That did not come across as defensive at all to me. It was pretty clearly tongue in cheek. Your comment, in fact, comes across as judgmental and condescending

Thanks. I can see that I could have worded my feedback more tactfully, and will do so in the future.

Oh hey, I'm sorry! :(

That sincerely was not my intention, and a lot of context and playfulness can get lost in comments. For what it's worth, I was simply trying to make a joke about why our marketing materials may not be as good as they should be and continue the conversation. I apologize if that came off as defensive and will make sure I double check my future comments so that they don't come off in the same light.

Ironically, this reply is also an apology!

No judgment, I just found it funny.

No worries! My intention was just helping you all look your best -- which you are doing with this friendly reply.

Thank you for the feedback :)
