Ugh. It seems it may be in my best interest to just stop responding to questions, threads and blogs in general. Apparently, it seems my only purpose in responding is to "incite argument" (which is news to me).
When I see a blog/thread/conversation that piques my interest, my natural response is to pop in and contribute my $0.05 (cuz pennies no longer exist here in Canada, so i have to add an extra three cents to my contribution). The problem it seems is people take what I have to say as somehow threatening, even when its really, just an honest question. I asked a blogger in what context her blog was supposed to be...and apparently she took it to mean i was starting an argument.
SERIOUSLY? In what universe is the question (word for word here): "is this meant to be philosophical or metaphorical in context" aggressive? I just wanted to know if she was being literal in her post, or...well, philosophical! Was it wrong of me to ask?
I mean, this isn't the first time I've been accused of being threatening or aggressive in a post response...even when it wasn't meant to be! (And if my post was meant to be aggressive, i wouldn't be subtle about it). I mean, ok, my response to the guy taking the ISIS thing a little too personal bordered on abrasive, but it was meant to. And when I'm in a bad mood, it tends to spill over into my responses. But it seems that accusations ONLY ever happens when I'm in a good mood, asking a genuine question of curiosity.
Is my way of responding, and inquiring REALLY that abrasive or aggressive??? If it is (and I'm not in a bad mood or trying to show how ridiculous you sound), i really do apologize. Thats not (always) my intent.
