so,
I apparently misinterpreted your statement about the <snort.> To me, it appeared that it could be possibly construed as a "stand up comedy" type of commuique, in which the author seizes a certain phrase or word from the audience and "riffs" on it to showcase a verbal skill and wit.Or it could possibly have been, I surmised, a veiled attack on another poster, an attack which at once denigrades the person being mocked and highlights the literary and grammatical skills of the mocker.
Obviously I feel relief that it was not choice b, as do, I'm sure, the other posters here. And I hope you feel nothing but pleasure that your consummate verbal skills elicit the implicit praise that would come from even assuming you MIGHT be engaging in choice a.
But something in your posting style leads me to surmise that you, in fact, might NOT be irrevocably harmed if posting rules appeared to apply to you in a way that differs from the application to other posters. Forgive me if I once again misinterpret, but it seems that you possess a certain mental fortitude which innoculates you against any such attempts.
In which ways would the support you mention be reduced?
