oh no, ralf, nono, not *usually*, but you have yer moments :)
i suppose, that is just like everyone tho...
but i didn't mean, *in any way*, to imply that you were harsh
as a standard thing, and if my message implied that, i am sorry.

sure, agreed, easily could be...

nod, no prob, i can arrange to be that way for you/to you...
you prefer politely direct and i can appreciate that...
>So, I'll try to be more subtle to all of you, and put in more tact,
even just consistent tact, is all i would ever ask...
but subtle and jesting is always received well, at least by me...
fer example:
"oh you botched that one :>"
is more easily swallowed i think, by most, cuz the sender is
obviously trying to ease a bad situation with humor, and the humor
used also indicates understanding of the receiver's feelings...
>and visa versa, you will be more direct to me..
right-oh!
let's see, direct... hrmmmm...
what about:
"you suck, yer nothing but a buffoon masquerading as a babboon"
or maybe:
"you heard about that Intelligence Quotient thing, but since it
might involve division, you opted not to get any"
would any of those be direct? =>
(makes a mental note to add those to EUServer's sarcasm list...
*cackle*)
