It was strict sacracsim. You don't know me. You don't know I thing about me or what I advocate for. You have know idea how much charity work I have done yoy have no idea the importance of democracy to me. You choose to go down a negative path. If you weren't sure of my statement you could have simply asked for clarification. That's what I do to truly understand someone's sles position. Even in your response you choose the word angy. I am not remotely angry. All this has zero net effect on my life. But it is all good. I sleep very well at night. To be clear. I am not angry. I was simply poking some fun at a city that prides itself as being so smart.
Of course I have posted my own opinion here. While I may challenge someone's position, I have never attacked anyone for simply having or stating an opinion as you now accuse me of doing.
What I don't like, and what I took exception with in your comment are blanket generalisations. Please show me a post of mine where I have attributed one blanket attitude or view to an entire city or community.
Your comment came off as angry rather than sarcastic to me. Your words seemed to express a true sentiment rather than one of sarcasm. I apologise if I mistook your intention.
Nothing more complicated than that. I will gladly sit amnd talk over a beer ibperson but I will not discuss feelings, attributes of one's self, or moral high ground on a website.
Why don't we all just stick to what this site is intended for. To learn about building projects that are happening in our great Region.
He may have been wrong in understanding your comment, but perhaps you should consider why he was wrong, and how your statements might be perceived by others, especially in a medium where sarcasm isn't necessarily clear.
For what it's worth, I chose to ignore your comment, but I also didn't take it as sarcastic.
You seem extremely defensive in this reply, was that intended?
