I wasn't being an ass, my tone was slightly annoyed. I actually agree on the whole "fuck internet rudeness because it's just a screen" thing, but if you can't even show a slight sense of annoyance at each other, wtf, that's not good for communication. The problem is when you read one comment from someone, and you have an image in your mind of that being their personality, period. Just because someone posts one annoyed comment or so, doesn't mean that through communication, they won't settle down and become more agreeable after some discourse. But, obviously, only if the other person also understands this inherent limitation of our minds. It makes sense this is how we work, as in person, we're used to forming a whole image of someone based on the information available. However, in person, this information is very rich - body language, eye contact, tone of voice, smell, touch, attitude, energy, as well as that when speaking, usually people are more verbose with spoken word, which carries its' own nuances of vocabulary used and context. Our brains are wired to work this way, as a long-evolved process has created it as a social survival tool, as we're social animals - make an image or "feeling" of the person to help make quick decisions. When all you have is words on a screen though, since it's all the information you have on someone, the image is inherently incomplete, and filled with lots of the same, recursively, to fill in the gaps your mind has about the other person. So, an annoyed person is mister super annoyed, that's just who he is. Right? ;)

I always try to type as I'd say something out loud, with the same choice of words, and I think more people ought to do that, too. So as to at least help the other party see things from your side as well as possible < quite literally.

Anyway, the funny thing is, that you're subconsciously doing something we all tend to do, something very human, but which lies at the very base of the kind of internet douchebaggery you're against (but that's that subconscious filling in an image of someone plus a healthy dose of actually being a dick and not caring about others - which you lack :) ). What I'm trying to say is - picture me saying all I said above with a calm tone of voice, in person, simply trying to express something, to give feedback, and see what you say about it. Have some understanding for my annoyance and let me be a bit annoyed, it doesn't mean I'm an unflinching, stubborn asshole who will now and forever always hate you and your offspring :P, or won't listen to a reasonable response. You messed up, and responded with a reasonable response, so that definitely took away the annoyance, as you show you give a damn about what I said and put some effort and thought into typing up a response. So, thanks for that.

In short - we good? :)
