I don't believe I've ever seen anyone else respond in such a manner to remarks presented to them and accepted as being in a kindly and good=humored fashion. It doesn't seem like it would be very condusive to civil discourse.
When you’re looking for a fight, it’s natural to regard what anyone says as being fighting words. When a poster begins his message by announcing that he is going to “straighten out” his correspondents, that has to be thought of as containing at least some hostility or the assuming of a certain air of alpha male superiority. Perhaps I was looking for a fight and read more into it than was there. Or, perhaps you were looking for a fight, and read something into my words that wasn’t there. I’m going to examine my own internal state. Recommend you do the same.
