People are way to eager to be aggressive/mock other people when they get the chance instead of considering that the other person might A) just have a different opinion or B) they misunderstood something.

That's interesting that you're accusing everyone of acting that way because I thought that's how you were acting. Maybe you should take a step back and see that you're calling the kettle black.

Almost verbatim what I was planning on saying. Just 0 awareness apparently. This one may be a lost cause, though.

That may be true from your perspective but it was not my intention. If you make a small effort, you might see that you too can misunderstand someone else's words.

So let me get this straight:

It's perfectly acceptable for you to make an assessment of a word and it's meaning from a post not your own - but utterly incomprehensible that we might make a similar assessment of literally the same word from your post... in exactly the same way.

In what way are people misinterpreting you and being mean while, somehow, your actions which effectively are identical (inference not withstanding) - are justified and erm... kind?

It's rare I will bust out a "my dude" this frequently... but: my dude do you own a mirror?
