In response to "yeah, that's ... confusing. -- nm" by Reagen

aah, the joys of message boards.....

I read that as very dismissive, kinda like "too bad, so sad".

Just the way that I and at least 2 others read it.

- Is an apology too much to expect now that you know I wasn't trying to be a dick? -- nm - TWuG Aug 15, 14:02 1
  - if i apologize, will you acknowledge the funniness of you complaining that her anger was too broadly directed... - TFox Aug 15, 14:06
- I literally can't understand this interpretation in the slightest. -- nm - Reagen Aug 15, 14:01 2
  - that really surprises me, but ok. - TFox Aug 15, 14:02 1
    - You assumed intent. And were wrong. That you thought that assumption had more merit than an honest statement of feelings is just sad. - TWuG Aug 15, 14:06
To your IM? Really? You're reading subtext into that? How could I have been more clear that I'm sorry she's leaving and that I'll miss her being - TWuG Aug 15, 13:54 1
- I am not calling you out, I am just saying how it read to me. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 15, 13:56
Maybe that's the whole problem is too much trying to read into what people are posting and not enough just reading what people are posting - oblique Aug 15, 13:52 2
- re: Your IM. it's like you aren't even reading amy's posts. -- nm - Andie Aug 15, 13:54 1
