Sorry but the answer sounds like it was made to a stupid question not to a newbee. And I am under the impression that there are no stupid questions on RTH. A straight answer would have been sufficient.
Prolly lost another one just because he asked a real question. Doesn't matter if you have answered that question once or 1000 times, a newbee does not know that number.

Maybe, if you didn't know Roger's style, you might think he was being pretentious about it, but the answer, I thought, was good. But, even if you thought the delivery was pretentious, there was no call for that response. A simple- "Uh, Ok." would do. Or better, yet- thanks. |

Well, you just said it yourself, "If you don't know his style you may think he was being pretentious about it". I have been here a long time and I do not know his style so what are the chances a newbee would. You know his style so you see no fault. Me and a newbee do not know his style we saw a fault. I did not see the guys response so I can not judge that but from past experience I would guess it was not good and probably out of line but with the flies dropping around here newbees matter. Not worth a pissing match but hopefully some lessons learned. Jim |

It entirely depends on the voice you hear in your head when you read the words.
Seriously. Try it, saying the words as a kindly professor.
Now try it as a sneering, nasty person.
The effect is quite different.
One of the reasons I broke up with my (former)boyfriend is that if I (or any other person) made a neutral statement, he automatically assumed there was something negative in it, aimed at him personally. He did the same while driving. Any time someone cut him off in traffic, or went ahead a 4-way stop when didn't think it was their turn, he took it personally. His default setting was defensive to the point of being aggressive. Finally it didn't feel safe and I left.
Lots of opportunity to hear the nasty voice in the printed word when there are no other cues to go with. Sometimes, there is no other reasonable choice.
But lots of time there is, if you are willing to give the other person the benefit of the doubt. By and large, people will hear the voice they choose to hear.

Beyond giving the person the benefit of the doubt, just think of them as being human. We all have a tendency to look out for ourselves. If someone cuts you off in traffic, for example, try to see it as their own selfish needs and not a personal affront to you. Your life will be much less stressful if you can separate yourself from the actions of others. Glad you realize that, lookatthat. |

Dunno what but maybe someone should take a chill pill.
Roger is a zen kind of guy.
His wonderful images, rocks and wisdom are gifts to RTH and contributions to beauty in the world.
There was nothing here to get wound up at.

Just maybe the person that cut you up was running an important mission to help and service others. I've driven like a complete ass to get my ex- to hospital when we didn't have the time to wait for an ambulance; road rules and speed limits be damned! The only care was to not leave damage to others or destruction in my wake. |

What was that they used say in the old movies when they wanted to make a quick getaway? "I just remembered, I left a cake a-burning in the oven!" Oh wait, maybe it was a Bugs Bunny cartoon...  |
