the key implied word here is "to ME" the posts come across to Peter that way. And maybe to al. Maybe not. >as angry in either a direct or a passive > way. What strikes me as odd is that they claim they're > not angry at all. Am I going mad or something? Well, it is a hypothesis, in the sense that so many things can color our perception. So lets see. Why not follow my simple request and cite the experience posts you have in mind, and the hostile response you have in mind. Lets collectively look at the words and see if hostiilty lunges out. I count count the times I have THOUGHT someone made such and suc point with such and such chip onhis shoulder. Only to ctart writing a resposne, using his OWN words as PROOF, to find -- poof - it was not in his words but my mind. And perhaps a post may seem to be hostile -- and was just careless writing of the poster, not intenended as hostility. A good set of feed back for him. So lets try the experiment. No gottcha games here. Just list the the Experience posts you have in mind, and the hostile response you have in mind. Lets collectively look at the words and see whats there. > Some > "new" poster wants examples of what I'm referring to. > I'm not going to engage him because he has decided a > priori that he and others are not hostile. Not true. Well, I know my own states which have not been hostile. I acknowledge that my writing may come across as hostile to you or perhaps others. I don't see it, but if you can show it, I am a quick study, I am eager to improve my writing skils and curtail unintented tones and tudes. > Then he > ends his post with a passive-agressive slam. See, that is internal Peter. I did not end my post with a with a passive-agressive slam. I ended my post with something YOU INTERPRETED AS a slam. I ended the post in the way I did because I have seen you repeated ignore requests for clarification when you are called on an issue. I really think you should try this exercise. I think it may amaze us all. Cite the experience posts you have in mind, and the hostile response you have in mind. Lets collectively look at the words. Why the resistance to taking 10 minutes to do so? > There's > nothing wrong with being pissed-off, it's just that > you can't have a normal conversation with someone > peppering their posts with all this passive-aggressive > nonsense. If you are referring to my posts, again, just cite what you feel are "peppering their posts with all this passive-aggressive nonsense." I know the intent of my last post and it was not passive agressive or hostile. If my style of writing is not effective, help me to change. If you are interpreting things on the paper not intended, perhaps you too have room for change. > ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Drugs Don't Discriminate.
