you don't even know the context of his post
Exactly, reads like a notice in the ADVOCATE personals.
I think it would have been more prudent to explain his post
That would be have to be posted in a separate thread in the "Rational Topics" category.
On reading it again I see that it was an exceptionally kind and polite post that was designed to inform smurf of possible minor flaws in his/her personality.
Obviously, very minor
otherwise just leave him be to vent.
Wow, I find it hard to believe that I just wasted the time and energy in replying to this. (Since venting is appropriate, please just ackowledge this as a vent on my part).
