>>Metmom, angry? Not! She is one of the most thoughtful people on these threads. It could be that you are projecting either your own emotional state, or your own heartfelt desire to make Metmom angry. Think about it.<<
I invite you to reread the thread. The anger is palpable, thoughtful or not. I understand your instinctive desire to rush to the defense of your ally, but, really this time, read the posts and see if they seem angry.
As for me, is there anything that I have posted on this thread that seems in the slightest bit even peeved, much less angry?
I really was hoping this was a thread where we could come together in general agreement, and I have been nothing but cheerful and inviting.
And I will continue to be so. There is no reason for animus when we have a chance to rib our science brethren on an idea that is pretty “out there.”
Oh well — I guess the highway doesn’t go to the light after all. :(
Remember. It is possible to read anger into the words of others, especially if (as in this case) you are lacking the facial expressions and tone of voice that usually accompany a conversation.
