Carried over from HISTORYIS FUNqueencallipygosOctober 10 2006, 11:45:55 UTC
Hi.
You accused me of being "snarky", but I would say that perhaps what you're seeing as snark is actually defensiveness. Whether you intend it or not, I do feel that you're kind of hovering over every last thing I say and publically passing judgement on it -- and that is making me a little uncomfortable. The "snark" is an attempt to gently get you to back off a little; I'm not used to every last word I say being run under a microscope quite so much. Not that I'm uncomfortable with critique and comment -- but it seems like you are indeed keeping score on every thing I say

I could buy all of that, except you aren't snarky to just myself. Of course "the gloves came off" with Cleve, but so did other people's 'gloves', then you got nasty with the mod and am Ende there's me. It's not only me you see.
Now, as to whether you're under a microscope, you aren't, I read every post in which I'm interested.
As for the reasons for your snark. I don't buy it, sounds like rationalizing after the fact. Evidenced by the fact that Mod wasn't being hypercritical to you. He was just ignoring you. You want to be defensive, be so. You want to be nasty, go ahead. You want to back go ahead. The ball is frankly in your court.

You're right that I was unkind to the mod, but may I politely remind you that I then apologized?...

And again, I am not saying that you are analyzing me, only that I feel like you are. For some reason, something in the way you and I are communicating is leaving me with this impression. I don't know whether it's word choice, how quick you respond, the things you choose to comment on, or what; all I know is, even though you probably aren't intentionally doing this (and I in fact do not think it's intentional), I feel like you are. I can't control what you do with that information, but I do feel it's only fair to tell you that you are for whatever reason unintentionally putting me on the defensive
