Thanks for all the fish.

tone is in the eye of the beholder, and should be in control of the poster.

Wait a sec, Shawn, are you saying that the poster is responsible for how other people react to the post?

Because it's amazing how often I'm surprised at how completely differently I read a post than do others. And I'm also very surprised by the many and different things people are offended by.

Unless someone is deliberately being insulting, there is just so much room for interpretation.

Let's agree to disagree.

And in hindsight I'm thinking tone should have been called "Point of View". Of which we have many.

Are you implying something because of your deliberate dropping of 'girls!' ?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Wait a sec, Shawn, are you saying that the poster is responsible for how other people react to the post?

Yes. Crazy notion, I know. If it's an unreasonable interpretation, then one is absolved. Otherwise, you take your lumps for what you put out there.
