Oh. Pardon me. I didn't get the jist of your original post.

It sounded as if you were suggesting that this was an isolated incident that had no support besides two idiots.

And no, I wasn't attempting to insult you. I simply assumed you were arguing in bad faith. Considering the amount of people who will brush off any story that is contrary to their preconceived notions, I think that's a forgivable assumption.

Oh - I see. It's easy to get into arguments at Saidit. :-)

Well, I always figured it's just the cost of discussion on the internet.

Over 50% of communication is nonverbal. So, while the words speak for themselves we're missing out on body language, facial expressions and tone of voice.

It's frustrating, but a lack of context usually is.
