Well said part of the problem with the written word is it is at times difficult to deduce tone and inflection. People I know personally I can tell where they are coming from others not always. Best wishes have fun and don't sweat the small stuff after this weekend it is all small stuff

What he said. After having done this for over a decade I've learned:

Some people are honest
Some people are liars
Some people like to stir the pot
Some people are instigators
Some people are facilitators of the big group hug
Some people have no filter
Some people say the stoopidest things
Some people interpret things as stoopid
Some people are tough guys behind the keyboard
Some people are just effing mean
Some people cannnt reed Ingrish
Some people can't be bothered to read English
Some people don't think before they type
Some people are nice offline and real p41cks online

Takes all kinds, for better or worse. Keep in mind that how you perceive and are perceived in text is often different that you would be in person. Inflections, mannerisms, tone, all lost.
