Default Is this what newsgroups have become?

If you want people not to jump to wrong conclusions, then it
behooves you to be very careful with your use of the language and to
try to be very clear in what you're trying to transmit.

Also, if you want to be a "neutral" participant you should refrain
from offering opinions and just stick to the technical facts of the
discussion you're interested in.

Even then, someone will be sure to misinterpret what you meant to
say and will send a barb your way. Complain and it will just get
worse. Return the barb and it will just get worse. A solution?

Grow thicker skin. :-)
