"I hope you'll let this go."

It's like when your wife says "Go ahead, if that's what you want to do."

3. Comments like this helps me realize how DU has completely lost its sense of humor.

I'm mid-fifties. My hobbies are snowboarding, beach volleyball, and craft beer. Perhaps you've never actually been in a relationship. Or heard the term "yes, Dear." It was a joke. Humor seems to have been beaten out of today's "young" people.
