in the contrary case / in case of contradictions / otherwise

Explanation:
any of these above suggestions might apply, but it depends on the context of which you give NOTHING. You ought to at least indicate the area, such as legal etc.

Your email: I understand that you consider my remarks \"NOTHING etc.\" as highly insulting. I am sorry if you feel this way. I merely tried to convey that with the proper indications - such as the area i.e. legal, finance, etc. - it is easier to give the appropriate answer and not go off in a wrong direction. I could or perhaps should have asked for more contexts in the \"request more info from the asker\". As you may realize, that particular field exists for precisely the reason that at times askers are not very forthcoming with details.
