I may be revealing too much, but I'm pretty sure people would think I'm nicer than I really am, based solely on my posts. I delete a lot of stuff before I hit "post." This is why I know that the post is not the person.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Jesse I had actually replied to your post with a post of my own about how I delete more stuff than I actually post because after I write it down it seems silly but then that post seemed silly so I deleted it and then completely forgot about it. You're kidding about thinking you're a bitch, right? So hard to hear the humor in text some times so ftr I do not think you're a bitch.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
But we think you're a considerate and thoughtful bitch, Jesse.

Yes, I am.
But we think you're a considerate and thoughtful bitch, Jesse.
Excellent. Carry on.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I am disappointed that Jesse is not bitchy ENOUGH.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
You just expect a certain level of bitchiness from a cowgirl.

Just for the record, I'm the sort of person who would fear that one rude post would overwrite the entirety of my character. I can see that at least Wolfram has the same sort of post=person perception; I don't know whether other people think and behave the same way. But I am glad to read that most people haven't actually had their feelings hurt in these quite contentious debates.
I certainly know from experience that one very unfortunate off-the-cuff remark of mine set a whole thread into motion (which is why I've felt extremely nervous during this entire discussion in terms of what I post), so P-C and Wolfram are definitely not alone.

Well, I certainly have been known to make snap judgments about people. OTOH, there have been times when a particularly elegant or nice post has changed my negative opinion of a poster. But, I think I'm more judgy than most people, so YJMV. I, mean, I've been known to take an instant dislike to someone based on their shoes.
