I am beyond pissed!

4. On the off-chance that you might have the impression that you can post some heart-felt missive ...

...here on DU without someone doubting your sincerity and replying with some snarky, inconsiderate response, perish the thought. Just know that many others of us accept your thoughts at face value. I can't know why your post was received by our fellow DU'er in the manner in which it was, eliciting the reply which you received. But I'm of the opinion that the reply was made by a good person, a like-minded supporter of the forum we share, who may have misunderstood your intent. Post away, my friend. Don't be troubled by an irritating reply now and then. We've all received them and, unfortunately, though we pride ourselves in being considerate, we occasionally fail to be so.
