ORIGINAL: MistressDoMe Wait, no no I am only trying to be funny! These are just words typed on a computer, this is not real life. We can write mean and nasty things and hide behind our computers! How cute and witty we are! Why don't we all just see how mean and nasty we can be? I can get down with the best of them. Well.. the fact of the matter is that this is a one dimensional communication device. I have seen comments be misconstrued as mean/nasty may times. Have had my own words misinterpreted that way. You see, there is no tone or inflection, often times people miss the emoticon that would tip them off to the real meaning. And some folks just take every word as literal. Sure some people can be mean, I am pretty sarcastic at times myself, that is my sense of humor and very common in New England, a trait my friends find endearing and share with me. mbmbn
