Kat, it seems that you are still upset with me over the whole deathmatch posting thing.

I did not mean to marginalise or minimise anyone. I am appalled that people have felt that way. It is so far from my intent that I am shocked that it has been taken that way.

I no longer post the matches. I am sorry that you ever felt marginalised.

What else can I do to atone?

Kat, another thing I didn't miss, but was never in the right place at the right time for, is to wish you and lori all the best!

I read all of this very fast.

Is the upshot that

a) Some people suck

and

b) Some people feel other people get their way too often

and

c) People need context to deal with the information in posts?

Or is my vision blurred from the hit to the head I suffered today?

Wait, no, there was one more thing:

I HAVE NO CRAZY NOTIONS.

You missed the part where I imposed my will on Hecubus.

Re the FAQ;

IS there anywhere that we can put the sBuffista Stortroopers that we used to have heading the WX forums? They were so mch fun, and while I understand the bandwidth prblems, I wish people would see them through the FAQ if they wish. They link us with our history, I think. (also, I had fun learning photoshop to make the Buffybot!)

There's absolutely nothing to atone for. I'm not upset at all anymore. I was upset at the time. I voiced my upset and I was done. I felt bad and I figured out what I needed to do to feel better, which was just basically stating what I felt so I did it.

I'm bringing it up because I have been looking for a recent concrete example when I have had an issue that was dismissed as a personal annoyance, as Rafmun had noted.

(cindy, THANK YOU!!)

I missed the pink! So sad.

Did I miss total Pinkification?

Thank you, Kat. I saw. (Hec always makes me cry.)

He mad me cry nice tears today, too (Hec)

You missed the part where I imposed my will on Hecubus.

Ha! Making girls cry and submitting to Dana's will since 1999.

You beat me to it, Ita! I too have blurred vision, but mostly from reading 500+ posts... And after doing so I have come to two conclusions. One, everyone needs a nap and their wooby. And two, reading an internet debate is akin to sticking one's head into a hornet's nest...

Re: Tone.
This bugs me. Divining tone from written media where no action/feeling has been implied is almost pronostication. Hell, even in a F2F can anyone truly be certain of a person's tone? Most of the time, sure, but not all of the time.
And herein lies the rub(e), we, as 'words in a box' (thanks Mecha!), are subject to no body language, no facial expression, and often, no *action/emotional* preface. Gotta tell ya, makes it damn hard for a person to divine tone. I would suggest that anyone that thinks they know another person's thoughts via the computer get themselves a 1-900 psychic hotline.

And if you disagree, ask yourself, is he sitting there with a stupid grin on his face? Or is he waving his fist at the monitor? Or is he indifferent to the whole thing?
