  • You don't understand me.

    And honestly, I don't understand that idiom. I'm terrible with idioms. I do understand that you think I was intentionally trying to be offensive.

    • Maybe I don't understand you. Maybe I'm an idiot and I don't understand the nuances of your minimalist commentary.

      What I do understand is that people were having a discussion and you jumped in to challenge Short4Words about the last sentence of his comment where he makes a short and irrelevant claim about himself, while completely looking past the main message of his comment.

      • That's exactly it. Why did you need to write "Maybe I'm an idiot and I don't understand the nuances of your minimalist commentary." ?

        I usually don't mesh with a type of people that are over emotive, generally considered to have good social skills and be sociable, and unfortunately, jump to conclusions.

        Sometimes I am a bit cruel, and a bit oblivious in what I say. I'm not trying to be offensive, but I can be. It's been suggested that I have aspearger's. Only suggested, not proven.

        I did see the main message. I thought it was a bit touching. What he said was contrary to what I have seen and experienced people to be and do. I want to believe he is different. I want to learn why. I can't though, if I have to walk on eggshells, and constantly worry about offending somebody.

        • The internet is a poor medium for communication. But I can see how it has been speculated that you might have aspearger's. My response would have been different if you had said

          *I think* you misunderstand me

          Telling someone that they don't understand something is not the right way to go about a discussion.

          But now I can clearly see that there was no harm intended. I have friends with aspergers, it has always taken me a while to warm up to your type, after all we are opposites when it comes to interpersonal relationships/communication....The internet is a poor medium for communication.
