I have to often remind myself that the written word takes all the nonverbal cues out of the discussion that sometimes it reads rougher than it was meant

that's why I call people on being rude (if I read it that way) and usually I find that is not the spirit in which it was written

I know there are a few "knee jerk" subjects around here but we all should make the effort to keep the discussion rational and polite.

I fear part of the knee jerk is people expecting to be flamed so they just get all bad ass without taking a minute to find out the reality of the person on the other keyboard. so many flame wars could be diverted with a little humor and a polite request for clarity don't ya think?
