Either word works in the context -- I wasn't knocking you at all.

There's a number of sharp edges like this hanging around. Those of us who've been here for a while don't tend to notice them (or at least, deprioritise them), and it's a good thing to have people saying "do I really have to do this crap?" occasionally.
