Really, its just a matter of us all trying to make this thing work. This is a new territory, written word with no facial expressions or tone to guide you. What means one thing to one person, may be interpreted a completely different way by another. So we have people who try to point out when what we have said might be misunderstood. Its not an insult, just an effort on all our parts to figure out how to make this work without people getting hurt because of a misinterpretation.
Whatever I post, I post thinking its okay. I don't intentionally post stuff that will upset people. But if what I say can be interpreted in a way I'm just not seeing, then I would want someone to point it out to me. Everybody is still learning here. Hopefully one day we will be able to express things without misunderstanding, but until then, we have the deputies that watch out for us.
Please don't take it personally Michael. I let you know I understood what you were trying to say. What you said wasn't wrong, but if people misinterpret it and get offended, then we've got to figure out how to make it right for everyone. Its just a technicality. Please don't leave because of this.
