[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1634793, member: 56379"] It's very true...text only posts made on internet forums can sometimes be taken different ways depending on how the post is written & the words used. This is why when composing posts on text-only internet forums...the poster should: - take extra care to choose words carefully - be very careful how those words are "assembled" - use emoticons (or terms like "LOL") as necessary to more clearly communicate their "feelings" or "tone" Those of us that are frequent visitors of internet forums have a "pretty good idea" when folks aren't being as nice as they could be when they post a reply.;) And specifically for Mac-Forums (since each internet forum has its own "personality")...we know when someone is "outside the boundries" of what's considered acceptable. Judging by many of the replies in this thread. There does seem to be some agreement that the OP's posts in question could have been written better. And in case it was missed or forgotten. In the OP's 3rd post in the thread...they used an unacceptable three-lettered word (probably starting with the letter "a")...that was filtered out. This is what really confirmed a "bad attitude" on the OP's part (in addition to the OP's 2nd reply)! - Nick [/QUOTE]
