- ...I don't have much idea - really.
Wow! I go away and help my Mummy through her 90th birthday (she got more scratchcards than the tobacconist round the corner), Man Utd lose and there's a massive ultra-serious postfest taking place.
Just to clear something up, I read what I fancy and reply accordingly. Unless things were repeatedly 'extreme' than I wouldn't complain - I just wouldn't read. After a while, in all the fora, we recognise the 'general style' of posters and know what to expect. Usually, though not exclusively.
It takes all sorts but I wouldn't want to offend anyone - if they are not gruntled then they must be 'nuts'!
Sea of change though; I was so troubled by my thoughts this morning that I started a thread in P&L as a form of cleansing...no good though - I still fancy a beer, and I'm still troubled!

Tone is something that can be difficult to get across on a forum. There is no vocal intonation, no facial expression, no body language to guide you as to whether someone is being serious, sarcastic, jovial, etc. so it has to come across in the form of expressive writing.
The only thing I would add - and this applies to all of us really, on any forum - is to re-read your reply before posting, and to drop in the occasional smiley when you're posting tounge-in-cheek.
The re-read often highlights things that others may possibly take the wrong way, and helps you clarify (with a bit of considered editing) what you really want to say; the smilies also help to emphasize when you're not being too serious.
Cheers,
Shaun

I always thought you were the girl in the avatar so you could get away with anything looking like that!
Just put a smiley face at the end of every post and you have it covered.

PS - The above was a joke. Never found your posts to be aggressive, but then maybe I read them inside my own head in much the same way as I'd deliver similar... so with sarcasm etc.
