D.B., your sentences don't scan here, for me:
Zo > I ask because I feel angry and sad about this.
Bob > Sorry about that. Just try to be more careful in the future?
Who is supposed to try to be more careful in the future, and what is up with that question mark? Are you asking me something? Telling me?
MAJOR WHOA: It suddenly occurs to me to ask, do we have a small language barrier thing happening here? Seems like a lot of time spent lately w/people trying to figure out what you mean and vice versa. . .*I* certainly don't know if English is your first language--like all good Amurricans, I just blithely *assume* so. So I apologize if that is the case and I haven't been sensitive to that.
On the other hand, maybe I just told a born and bred American that he can't write worth s**t. <- joke alert
So maybe you want to share with us your entire life story?
Or, how about just clarifying your meaning, above, so that I can respond more intelligently (than this.)
Thanks,
Zo
