[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6206551, member: 4937"] Mythago: One of the difficulties with internet communication is that it is very difficult to communicate emotions and context to your words. That's the reason for example that sarcasm doesn't work very well over the internet. All those physical indicators like body posture and tone of voice that people use to evaluate what people are saying are missing. If you choose to see me as sitting at the keyboard "ranting", or being in a "towering, operating rage" there is very little I can do to effect that perception. But for someone who was just not accusing me of not listening and lacking empathy, I'd suggest that choosing to see me as being in a rage is not particularly conducive to listening or empathy either. If you want to continue to negatively portray me, and if you want to assume the worst about me, let me give you the web cam's eye view of how to do that. Instead of imagining that I'm in a towering operating rage and that my deep flaw is an inability to remain calm and that I have all these huge emotions boiling out of me, a portrait that really doesn't have much relationship to the actual me, try going with "pompous" and "patronizing". You'll be able to sell it better, it works really well in the context of a discussion of feminism, and it will have more relationship to my actual flaws that people who know me would recognize. But, that's only if you are determined to see and hear me in the worst light. [/QUOTE]
