[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 300439, member: 2011"] It's not about making assumptions. It's about being man enough to admit when you posted something misleading as opposed to pretending you actually meant something different than you said. The intent of your posts does not matter if people do not understand your intent. You will be the only one who understands your intent. As for asses, look in the mirror pal. If you do not understand that everyone thought you supported #3 until a day later, then you are more closed and single minded than I thought. You sound like a broken record. In your mind, we were not talking about how you run it. But, by what you posted, EVERYONE else thought that method was your opinion. And, you are still talking about how it is not “how you run it“. Get a clue. We understood that several posts ago. We are not the dense people here. The rest of us are not the ones not understanding here. We are not the ones harping on “that’s not how I run it” as some form of inane potential defense or mantra for not being clear in your posts. You sound like a drowning man hoping a roll of toilet paper will keep him afloat. The only issue is that regardless of that, that is not what you posted in posts 4 and 5. Regardless of intent, you implied something which you now claim is not what you meant. Whatever. Grow some long ones pal and fess up when you are unclear. People will respect you more then this counter-attack crap calling people asses and dense. And, regardless of what you think, I’m not trying to get on your case here. When you are not posting new Feats about other people bitching and moaning or getting into long winded heated debates over you said this, I said that, you actually post good stuff a lot of the time. You just have to sometimes take a deep breathe and realize that not everyone else is full of it. Most of the time, they’re not. Message boards are inherently unclear and people are sometimes going to misunderstand what you mean. That does not make them dense, it means that you are probably unclear or that you are reading more into what you write than they are. Live with it and take it with a grain of salt. And, answer the freaking question as opposed to thinking that someone will understand what you meant from some post a day earlier. People respect a quick and clear response more than this “I already answered that“ crap. People do not have the time to wade back through 50 posts in order to find one sentence buried in a paragraph somewhere. Or, at least not people with < 3700 posts. Message board etiquette. Help your audience out. :) :) [/QUOTE]
