That sounds like fighting talk.

Otta, likewise and that is so very true.

In another place, the death of someone we knew was announced by a few people, with one friend stating "He will be sorely missed". The next person posted "How do you know". This caused a deluge of abuse, until it was explained the question was "how do you know he has died" rather than peoples interpretation "how do you know he will be missed", as the person posing the question had not heard anything until it was read on the forum. A perfectly innocent question/remark over this media will one day,undoubtedly, start a world war.

I can see that does happen on crossed posts regularly adonirum; but experience offers a few simple techniques.

explicitly answer/comment on previous posts by referencing or quoting poster and/or content.

Smilies, they have their detractors, but god knows a wink can just make obvious the intention. We don't have tone of voice, so it helps to provide it in other ways.

It annoys me that someone here can mount a high horse, when their posting history can prove they aren't any better themselves.

Anyway, where's Kroff?
