Hi @Rick 

I hope you don't mind me being very direct right now in saying I think you have a very distort view on this situation (one of the crappy things that a mental illness can do!). You always show great humility!

What I read from the thread you're referring to is simply a variation of perspectives, nothing more and nothing less. On top of that, your response explaining your perspective was really clear and considered.

I think something that we all have to also remember is that our responses to each other are missing tone of voice and body language - so there's a lot left to our own biased and tainted interpretation.

This is my favourite example of this:

The forums are a better place because you're a part of it... not the opposite.
