Stroller, all I can say is that you are reading too much into my posts |
| 7 |
and trying to second-guess my intentions. Yes I did express some |
| 8 |
sentiments of frustration - I made that quite plain, I gave the reason |
| 9 |
why, I described what probably caused it, substantiated that there is |
| 10 |
something that could be done about it, and even was the one that took |
| 11 |
action on it. True, I expressed some shock when the answers weren't as |
| 12 |
polite as I imagined, and yes, I did actively respond to any specific |
| 13 |
dismissives of what I thought was the problem. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
But no, I did not address the "community at large" in some sort of |
| 16 |
"you owe me" attitude. You've already noted that any nuances in my |
| 17 |
posts are subtle at best, and it would be fine for you to take your |
| 18 |
own advice and not assume like a problem exists before you should. |

I just think you're projecting your previous frustrations at people |
| 21 |
who are asking for apologies into my posts. Everyone has their bad |
| 22 |
day. But I think it's misguided. For one, I just described above that |
| 23 |
there aren't any. For two, I really do write like that, almost all the |
| 24 |
time, and I think many other people do, and I think it would be a much |
| 25 |
finer world if we all wrote as civil as we could despite any feelings |
| 26 |
about the situation. |

If you're that emotionally invested in getting offended by my style, |
| 29 |
then have a nice day. You're not solving anything. Sounds funny coming |
| 30 |
from me, but you should probably just ignore the posts then. |
