It all comes down to reading into the context behind the text because the text itself has no context.The way I see it, you say things and see the responses as being offended.
If you make a statement that you do not intend as offensive, why would you then assume that the response indicates that someone is offended????
I do not assume that you intended offense with a response.
I suggest that if I comment on your comment, that I'm offended!
I'm not easily offended! Especially in the context of online posting, where you get no visual feedback.
Perhaps you could alternatively, evaluate the content of the comment instead of trying to read offense into it?
For starters I stated that I doubted the songs YT posted were part of his playlist and he can confirm if he chooses. He understood and did indeed confirm they were not part of his playlist. Re-reading your post you may have thought I meant He should seek my approval before posting. However I interpreted your response to mean I shouldn't be commenting in his defense, which did seem like you were offended.
It's not always as clear as he said, she said and is more often like the game where everyone sits in a circle and passes a message from ear to ear... the last message is never close to the first.
I am guilty of responding to messages I've misread. I doubt many here haven't done the same... but I assure you, I'm not trying to be a judge, juror or prosecutor. But to these ends, there is one person who gets under my skin and brings a little of each of those out, and that my friend is not you.
