@FlyingMantis..Shrimp?

Relax. It’s the internets.

Glad to hear that you’re not on the verge of a heart attack. That would be terrible. But you forget that everybody’s anonymous, and therefore nobody is likely to remember that they’re dealing with other real, live, breathing, feeling human beings.

Which makes it utterly easy to, say, judge a person’s complete personality based on a typed comment. The reason I point out the typed, you see, is because it is impossible for you to know how I say anything. This entire paragraph could sound utterly sarcastic in my mind, and some one else could view it as a serious attempt to communicate to another person. Or vice versa. So while I can say things like “You are a purple cheese mongler” or “I travel home by airplane every night”, you have no way of knowing whether I mean those things sarcastically, mockingly, in jest, seriously, or sounding utterly confident and sure of myself. I admit, I should really stop trying to express the subtleties of speech through written word, but I find it oh-so-amusing to watch people misinterpret it.

But I’d rather not continue a lengthy discussion on a forum when it only involves two people- email me some time at Sikras02@aol.com

Or sign me up for oodles of spam, whichever you feel more suitable.

Ciao.
