Peter, taking my own advice to re-read things where there is a
difference of "impression", to see if I have misinterpreted or
missed something, I re-read the above post. You said it ended with "a
passive-aggressive slam." For the life of me I can't see it.
Perhaps I could rephrase to make the same point -- focussing on the
secon paragraph.
"I have been reading these posts carefully and I have not found
hostility. Perhaps I am missing something you have picked up on. So
please be specific so I can better understand what you are getting at.
If you are unable to find such specifics, well, thats ok. It may be
similar to what I have found personally in such circumstances when I
"think" or "feel" a certain tone or attitude is in a writer's piece --
but then can't find the exact words to make such a case. Pity. It so
seemed to be there. In such cases I must conclude its something in my
own mind, my own web of cognitive abilites that made me incorectly
assume such a tone or bias. If you are unable to point to the
specific instances of hostility, I must assume it is something like my
personal expereince -- its a small quirk inside of you that makes you
see such since it cannot be found on paper."
To me the point and general tone are the similar between the two
versions. But the latter takes greater explanatory pains. And seems
like a discussion two upper crusty Brits in a Gentlemans Club during
the Raj. My usual style is more one of greater brevity and directness.
But if the latter style suits you better, I will try to pursue such in
discussion with you.
