--- Comment #18 from Luke Kendall <[email protected]> ---
Please excuse me from adding my 2c.

I feel young, but I'm pretty sure by all your standards I'd be elderly.

I'm very even tempered, and maybe acquiring a little wisdom as I age. :-)

On quite a few bugs I've reported, I've felt 'triggered' by a reply, but have
ignored that and just replied to the facts.  Quite often, as I calmly replied,
and thought about things from the responder's point of view, I came to feel I
had over-reacted and was very happy I had not expressed any of that in my own
response.

I've seen many discussions by text only spin out of control as people reacted
badly to things the writer did not intend; it's happened to me, when someone
took a meaning I had not intended from my words.

I suspect Mike was just using emphatic language to make a point, and did not
intend to make Telesto or Thomas look like bad people.  That's just my
impression as an outsider: Mike of course can answer for himself.

It's hard to avoid emotional miscommunication and misunderstandings in pure
text, especially ascii text, especially when you can't edit your post to
improve your phrasing after you make it.

I have three small suggestions:

1) Use emojis to help try to express your feeling (smileys especially, but it
would be very nice to have a more modern range)
2) Try to think about the human side of things whenever you post a response.
3) See if you can get this site to improve the capabilities of the text to use
html, and also the UI so as to allow editing by the poster, after they've Saved
Changes.

HTH
