Long response? Thumper? Never in a million years...

Ya know what, many years ago, I learned a very valuable lesson from one of my best fishing buddies, which has stuck with me ever since....we were crappie fishing a patch of sheeity ironwood bushes in shallow water, during the spawn, and we both were hauling in slabs, but were getting hung up, constantly.
After a while, he seemed to be getting hung up lots more than me, and I made a snide remark about it to him....he responded, by telling me that he didn't mind being corrected, but it was the "tone" of my speech, which he found offensive....he went on to say that I had a bad habit of doing that, when talking and/or dealing with people....he is a great guy, and I took it to heart.
Ever since then, I have tried to be more conscious of the "tone" of my speech, when dealing with people, whether in person, on the phone, or on the web....just saying.

Lord knows I'm guilty of it sometimes myself. I do it often enough I guess I feel guilty even when
i'm innocent!
Like Thumper said, sometimes online you can't tell if somebody's being shitty or not. And then, there's times there no doubt. But that door is always open just a crack. So who's to say?

Sometimes it's clear.
My FIL died of something after farming all his life. One of y'all probably know what.
