Well, as I tried to ‘splain in my above “Disclamer,” it is easy to “twist off” (to use an Oil Patch term) when all one has is the printed word to stare at.
Since FReepers are known for getting right to the point, misunderstandings are very common on any FR thread that you choose to review. [ The Admin. Mods. must be the most patient of all FReepers!]
If more FReepers took a minute to realize that everybody is doing the best that they can, their bloodpressure would go down, LOL would return to their comments, and the ensuing flood of new donations would raise the written strength of all FREEPERS!
Point me to disclaimer. I think I saw it but have some support.
Disclaimer:
* The best means of conversation is eyeball to eyeball.
* Down the list is the telephone, where at least one can pick up clues of humor, sincerity or sarcasm.
* Way down the list in the written word, with pecious few clues of the intended meaning, greater probability of miss-interpretation, and the onset of the useless flame and blame downward spiral.

What say all of you?
The bestest example of this is facebook.
My sister got so pissed off at my my cousin she sent me the conversation.
I reviewed it and could see how it could be misconstrued.
I could also see how my cousin was being facetious.
I asked my sis if she had talked to my cousin. She had not and will not.
Talk to your important friends and family. Don’t text them.
The Admin. Mods are the most patient of all FReepers! I'll testify that is true. The Admin. Mods have dealt with me a few times and even told me they didn't have time for what I was raising a fuss about but they did so very kindly ... lol
