I Got Ticked

I post a link to a page I think people would be interested in. As part of that post I ask a question. A simple question one would think nobody would misinterpret. No such luck.

Do I help matters any? You don't know me that well, do you?

Well, I shant be reading a certain poster anymore. Unlike a cat I can keep myself away from temptation.

One more thing. Don't assume you know what another poster is talking about. If it's unclear, ask him what he meant.

You've been around long enough to know there is nothing so simple that people will not be confused.....

True, but I didn't think D&D set the bar that low.

You're joking right?

Usually they don't come to EN World as often as other places, but more and more they come....

What?!

Mythusmage made a comment that was misinterpreted, thus ticking him off?!

Somebody alert Morrus. We need to get this on the News page.

I am asking him "of the unclear posts." Of what, or whom does your cryptic post speak? Like a cat, your post wanders willy-nilly and is filled with assumptions and half formed thoughts that don't mean much of anything to the uninitiated. This is like witnessing an in-joke when you are "out." Are you always so... clear?

Eosin, you jump to conclusions. Let me clarify, you jump to conclusions. You also react instead of thinking. Do I need to explain that? Now I am going to explain what I mean when I say, "ask him what he meant."

When you are puzzled by what a poster has said, ask him what he meant. A simple, "could you explain?" should suffice. Don't get huffy, don't get your feathers ruffled, refrain from egregious snark.

BTW, why is it the only time I see one of your posts is when you're bitching about one of mine?

For your information interpretation is not female. Thus 'miss' as an honorific is inappropriate. in any case you spelled 'miss' wrong and there should be a space between 'miss' and 'interpreted'. Please correct your post as indicated. Thank you.

Well, the text itself says 'I agree completely' but I'm not sure what the rest of the symbols mean.
