Maybe answering a question could be interpreted as being a more straightforward way to clarify things.

Nice effort with a good outcome. Worth trying.

Thanks a lot.

As everyone knows, sometimes the intent of our posts gets lost. They seem perfectly clear to us but can be misinterpreted by others. I was quick to judge.

Maybe it would be a good idea to give members the benefit of the doubt and just ask them for the meaning of the post if there’s a question.

I’ll try to do that next time.

The internet is a very tricky place. It is difficult to understand someone’s mood. I often refer to the smiley face to help people understand where I am coming from…or some self deprecating remark always helps. Self deprecation comes easily for me because I have an endless supply of material.

I admit that you have me baffled and I simply do not know how to get an idea of your personality, which is imperative for the likes of me. I have held off responding to a great many of your posts, because I am not in the mood for snark responses to my posts.

You seem to relish in veiled put downs of all the Conservatives here on the Zone. I feel you enjoy using the English language to subliminally offend. I don’t remember you this way at all…so either I have changed or you have changed.

I have made it quite clear I have no debate skills. That is not the reason I come to the Zone though.

I was raised with the perceived shit eating grin remarks thrown my way…so I have issues. I was raised with three brothers so I am a scrappy little twit also.

If what you say does bother you…you are smart…you command the language with vigor…I know you will figure it out.

I don’t set out to *pounce* Arf…and if I have, I apologize.

~Boy you should see my cat…now he can pounce! ~

I hereby declare that this post does not contain enough mindless personal attacks to qualify for a “flame” post.
