call" or the "sexism" one are bound to stir up strong emotions one
way or another and it has been my experience that the written form
can be a hard way to have a "conversation" like that.......far to
often we "read" from what mood we are in, and if we are in a good
mood we could see the humor in something someone wrote and not take
it as an "attack"..but......if you are in a bad mood, or sad,
or.....you are apt to take the same note and "read" it
differently......
Interesting thread though, interesting thread.......
