(1,555 posts)There's not enough time in a day to offer advice every time someone comments. That and, well, I certainly don't have a corner on advice (Though I don't know how sagely it is... well intentioned, certainly... but sagely? I'd say the jury is still out on that one ). We get tons of it on this site. Some good, some bad. I just comment when something catches my attention for whatever reason. Sometimes its well received (which is something I think we all hope for) and sometimes not. I think, perhaps, this time was a swing and a miss for me. No harm no foul.
And I totally understand your point of view. There is definitely something to be said for getting something off your chest.
Though I will say this in my defense; words on a blog or forum are generally a poor communicator of a person's intent... I mean, after all, its what, 83% of communication that is non-verbal? Text on a screen leaves an awful lot to personal interpretation.
In any case, I think I'll keep my day-job
