1. It wasn't me who started it the other day.
2. I wasn't the only one not on your side.

Despite (1) and (2) I seem to be the person you're blaming for it.

3. My problem was with your being arbitrarily offensive thinking doing so was funny in itself, without tying in any jokes or cleverness to compensate.
4. This is really, really boring for everyone else.
5. I really don't enjoy arguing with you any more than I'd enjoy bleeding if I got stabbed. It's no achievement to cause it.
6. You probably don't enjoy it either.
7, and most importantly, it's really, really boring for everyone else.

edit: Mathematical proof that 7 = 4.
