The last thing in the world I wanted was to start the new year off this way.
Do you all out there really think I was rebuking Michele when I posted: "I
think the poster was asking about the techwr-l website."
I meant it as a clarification, not as a rebuke. Both Jerry and Michele
seemed to me to think the poster was talking about the school while I
thought he was talking about the techwr-l site. Was it rude of me to post
what I did? I don't feel that it was, but I'd be interested to hear others'
perceptions.
Michele tells me she gets e-mails "by the boatloads" from members of this
list when she and I "have a confrontation." She says she "will not repeat
what they say" but she does state that "you are not well-liked" and that she
thinks it is "simply your very aggressive, I-know-it-all tone." Again, I did
not intend my remark to be a confrontation, and I am sorry that it was
perceived that way.
I try to keep a balanced tone, and I regret if I am not achieving that and
I'm somewhat concerned that people out there are perceiving me as being
over-aggressive. Of course, I cannot control what they think, but it is
nevertheless not the most pleasant thing to be told what Michele has told
me. When I see all the various communication styles here, including that of
Michele herself, and I look at my own, I really cannot see how my posts are
very different at all. People sound snippy from time to time, but I don't
say anything about it.
