Subject: RE: BS: I ABSOLUTELY GIVE A D***
That's one of those things we all fight with all the time here GP........Its VERY hard to convey all the nuance of everyday speech, the inflection, facial expression....very tough. I'm lucky to have lasted long enough around here so that I am generally taken in about the way I mean to be taken, but its taken a long time and there have been a lot of skirmishes in the meantime that I never meant to occur. Everypalce develops a history and some issues are very sensitive at one point and that sensitivity may carry on or become lessened with time. Around here we've seen both. One day perhaps, we'll figure a way to express even some of our relgious beliefs with the nuance we often still lack because, as you say, its just "black and white" there on the screen.

Let's move on, whaddaya think?
