I would agree with you.

And one has to take a look at who they're communicating with in order to have an quicker understanding of where they're coming from. If your feathers get ruffled by people reading through what you post that's on you.

I liked and enjoyed your post, btw.

No worries. Yeah it's thought provoking. Reminded me of some hard sci-fi from Neal Stephenson, Kim Stanley Robinson, Dan Simmons, Vernor Vinge. Etc. in a good way. Those authors generally are harder(ish) sci-fi and kinda try to stay in the rhelm of scientifically, accurate/plausible story lines.

I personally try to assume positive intent. Though reading up on someone helps me understand where they're coming from, when I too don't have voice or face to reference.
