A big problem with the written word is that it's easy to misinterpit what is meant, or to take a light hearted comment as an insult. It would be a shame if members left for this reason.
Personally I've enjoyed Dibble's posts (and avator) and hope you don't leave.

Steve has ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT!!!!!

Over the last few years I've done a number of courses for developing soft skills (part of the being a consultant mumbo jumbo) and a large part of this is effective communication. SO much of the message you read into what someone is telling you is communicated through your body language, pitch and tone, and the speed of delivery rather than the words themselves. Whether you look into their eyes, etc .. I could go on ...

When you take that and look at a purely text medium (apart from smiley'semoticons) you can understand how easy it is to mis-communicate something, for someone to take what you've said the wrong way, out of context etc ... It's not surprising that it happens.

Lets all grab a BIG grain of salt and jam it down our necks and LIGHTEN UP!!!

Sheesh ...
