Thanks FBU.

I get what you're saying and I get the fact that being a forum moderator, especially on a site as big as Pool Forum means being in contact with lots of different personalities, not all of whom are friendly and/or nice. And yes, a lot of people are down right rude and demeaning and purposefully argumentative....that's called being a "troll". I am NOT a "troll". Anyone who knows me personally knows that I am a friendly person with a kind demeanor and willing to give the shirt off my back to help others. But yes, I do like to joke around and have fun with my writing and I find sarcasm funny...

I also realize that I am new to the Pool Forum and I know very few people and I don't have much insight into other user's personalities and writing styles. However, one thing I try really hard to do (and I by no means get it right all the time) is this - I don't assume malice in what other people write. I always try to assume that a person writing a post is writing out of a genuinely inquisitive and benevolent nature and that they are not trying to hurt others or offend. Perhaps, after being here for years (assuming I don't get banned for writing something stupid), my attitude on that will change, but I hope not....
