But you do seem to care enough to have suggested my current way of posting was obnoxious to you.
Even if only a little different, which would you prefer from me?

Some post on some thread. Iirc, the gist was that my civil way of posting is interpreted as arrogant condescension and a more blunt manner would be better.
Certainly that seems the example set by longterm posters and mods. RE: Are people here too rude?

I don't perceive your posting as condescending, as a rule. I do think it's possible to be very rude without using any 'bad' words, but I haven't observed you doing that. And using 'bad' words isn't necessarily rude, it depends on intent.

Simply because I find you obnoxious doesn’t mean I care enough about you to suggest a change. As long as you don’t seriously break the Forum rules, I really don’t care if you live, die, or grow mushrooms in your arse. Boru

Neither. Adopt an alternative approach when initial methods have failed.

Fair enough. I guess really not caring if someone dies is quite blunt. Understood. |
