Ok how do I do this? (20 characters)?

Yesterday I answered a question which apparently my answer offended someone and so since I'm not a contact of theirs I couldn't send them a message so I posted a question to say I'm sorry and I didn't mean to offend said person. I really didn't mean it like that in any way. I was simply stating my opinion and they were a little rude in their response. I don't normally get worked up about things like this especially since its over internet people but someone reported my question that was apologizing to this person. Which I thought was even more rude. Especially since I was doing the right thing by trying to fix the problem. So I would like to dispute the report but every time I click on the link in my email it says that Y!A has a problem. I'm rather flustered over the whole thing. I really didn't mean to upset or offend the user in anyway. And I'm still rather sorry about it. I just think its quite hilarious how people can totally bash someone and trash talk them and their questions not get reported and mine that I was trying to apologize in was. People are douches.

Question is...how do I get the link to work or how to I dispute the report?

Update:

I could totally understand that. But i didnt even put the users whole name in my question. And I don't the it would give me an option to appeal it if it wasn't able to be appealed. But you're right. Random Y!A users ill never meet in person and I shouldnt be worked up about. I just don't like making enemies or even arguing with people i dont know all of it just stresses me out.

    If the question was directed towards a user, then you cannot appeal the report.

    And seriously, just forget about it. So you offended someone, so what? I offend people sometimes, I don't care, it happens, and I definitely don't care if it's some random person on YA.

    My advice: Just forget about it and move on with your life.

    Cheers!
