What you mean to say, I believe, is that interpreting tone is more challenging then a face to face conversation. This is true, not just with internet but any typed communication. . .however there are advantages to typed communications in other areas. . which is why almost all legal communication is in writing. That being the case, however, it is not impossible to interpret tone via the written word, just more challenging, with more opportunity for misunderstanding.
If indeed I'm in error in sensing a derisive tone to your writings. . .could it not also be possible that you need to be more effective in communicating given that you recognize the greater likelihood of misunderstanding in this medium? I dare say that's the other side of the coin. . .that sometimes we write things and we think what we are saying and expressing is fine. . .but in fact, it is our poor ability to communicate effectively that causes a miscommunication. You seem to be saying that its everybody else's problem if you are not understood. But.. .that's not a very effective attitude. . .if indeed your objective is to help others.
Think about Jesus' example. . .he said because you don't believe my words. . .believe the works and know that I am in the Father and the Father in me. . .In other words. . he was focused on them. . .not on himself. When they didn't believe the works. . .he went to the Cross and demonstrated what love looks like. . what love acts like. . . he didn't keep score. . .he even wept for the souls that could not hear his word .."Father forgive them. . .they know not what they do". . .This is the love I'm talking about. . .that's the path to be heard.
Indeed.
I differ to my statement in my profile. Reasons Why I Post on the FR Religion Forum. It is as honest as I can be.
I DO have that tone in MY writings at times; but it is not logical to claim that my TONE nullifies the TRUTHFULLNESS of what I post.
Folks use that argument to AVOID the truth.
