ahh, why did you have go and annoy me?

Here's a nifty idea for a blog.
Rhys wants to get a blog from each of the Countries/Territories in the Blogspot.com profiles.
So I decided to join up and mentioned that I was Irish but lived in Canada. There were about 3 or 4 other people interested in the Canada spot and it was suggested that perhaps I could take the Irish connection.
All fine and dandy.
There were a few other people in similar situations, from one place and living in another. They have taken whichever spot. There are still lots of empty places so if anyone knows people in the relevant country send them over to the site.
Then yesterday I went back to check the progress and in the comments was this little remark from someone called dr. a.
"it's a real pity that Amanda is not from Ireland unless it is now a state of Canada instead of the USA. :-o " and then a link to his/her site.

Well.

First off, they are called provinces and territories in Canada not states.
And second, as anyone who knows an Irish person is aware, don't ever, and I mean ever, say we are not Irish. The Canadians have a similar thing about being called American. And the Portuguese with Spanish and probably everywhere else too.
I left a comment on the World of Bloggers site, but it's set with comment moderator so it didn't show up.
I understand that, it's Rhys' site and he can make that decision.
I emailed dr.a. to ask for an explaination as to why he/she knew more about my nationality than me.
"I was confused by the comment you left on the World of Bloggers blog site.> I was born in Ireland and the only passport I hold is my Irish one.> I moved to Canada 8 months ago.> So how exactly am I not Irish?> Amanda Foley"
and got a reply
"Sorry in your profile you say you are living in Toronto, Canada no mention of Ireland and I didn't read the comments at the top of your blog. I was in the office and didn't have time to fully read your blog. My apologies."

Now, my dilemma.
I could write back and point out that leaping to conclusions from one word is not a great idea, that we don't have states in Canada and accept the apology.
or
Do nothing.
