Quote: everyone just assume anything coming off my keyboard is one big-a$$ed IMO
All of us already do assume that, Stig, about you and about each other. I don't think Phase has been around us enough to be familiar with the way we all spout off theories we've read up or made up and thrown them into the pot for stirring. We don' mean nuthin' by it.
Last year sometime, someone who doesn't post here anymore used to jump on every other thing I said, so I started putting disclaimers on everything, i.e., "just my opinion," "from my experience," "not carved in stone," etc. Sometimes I would even put a paragraph at the beginning with the word "Disclaimer." I think chrome and Lou both called me on it and said that it wasn't necessary. But I was gunshy after certain people repeatedly overreacted to my statements and saw malice and stupidity in my posts when there was none.
Anyway, you're not overbearing, you're not coming on too strong... clearly you accidentally hit a hot button of Phase's, probably as you pointed out, in the direction of being overprotective of heather. Getting inside heather's head, as it were, and predicting that she would follow our suggestions blindly. I think heather is desperately grasping at straws, but I understand her wanting to try anything and everything.
