Flame — HabitableZone

Flame » in reply to Robert did not make a mistake, you did in misunderstanding him.

We Both Did According To This
Mark Eby — (archived)

"But it wasn't as awkward as you try to portray it. It all started on Community with a post by "Robert" titled "I'm offended too". Not only is the use of my first name a signal that I"m not moderating, but the use of the first person in the subject line, and joining with other individuals with "too", is another rather strong clue. When I'm moderating my subject lines tend to be imperatives, like "Knock it off!" or "Take it to Flame". The text in the message body is imperative in tone, and I acknowledge that that's where the confusion started to creep in. I felt like I was expressing my determination to fight Gary over the issue in a flame war, and in fact that it was the opening shot in a flame war...as far as I was concerned. But I can understand how other people might read it differently.

I'll work on that."

Know who wrote this or are you not really trying to keep up?

Regards,
Mark
