Nor am I.  People are going to do what they want to do (stating the obvious).

I'm beginning to get that same exact feeling.

That's because they can't see the emotion that goes into you posts, nor can
they divine what emotional baggage you may be carrying at the time and that's
because none of us are professional writers.  The closest we come to
professional is to be labeled "Professional Misunderstanders."  But there are
those of us who bother to ask for clarification before we jump off the
precipice.

What good does that do?

It all seems so pointless to us.  Maybe if he explained...
