Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 I must say how fascinated I am at how many responses I read on this board where it is obvious that the author has completely misunderstood or misread the posting to which they are responding. Regularly I see it. <br><br>I have done it myself - read messages really fast and reacting and going to write a response and upon re-reading the posting realizing that I didn't really understand what I was responding to because I was reading it too fast. The posting said something different than I thought.<br><br>All these arguments and things... if you actually read the messages and translate, you get something to this effect:<br><br>Message 1. "I really don't like cookies with milk. It makes me stiff. Some people in this club like blue!"<br><br>Response to message 1. "That is the most cruel thing I have ever read in my life! My yoga teacher is not a stiff. Who told you that cookies make milk blue? I say, eat blue cookies if you want! It's a free world and clubs can say what they like!"<br><br>Am I right? Am I wrong? Either way... "there is water at the bottom of the ocean."<br><br>So taking anything too seriously on this board has unnecessary consequences. <br><br>Trinka the Sage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
