It's frustrating to come back here and see a commenter getting into internet hostilities with a kid. It makes me want to say "pick on someone your own size".
I'm pretty sure you didn't intend to come across that way at all, but you unfortunately did so whether you intended to or not, and you weren't the only one.
I'm learning... I worked in a political survey call center and I actually got fired for being too rude but it's hard to unlearn bad habits. I try to be honest but then people take it as an insult...
Well, I've enjoyed our conversation, I didn't feel it was particularly hostile. Certainly compared to Linus's old flames it was very civil. It's a pity dang is frustrated.
