    Ran, i'm just chillin'.

    I am the joking type, but on this forum, ya never know where someone is coming from. This is what I was getting at when I said in a probably now deleted thread that we are all from different walks of life. We don't all see/hear/think the same.
    Yeah, but some stuff should be universal. What did you think the emojis represented? Now had I been able to give you a middle finger emoji...that's pretty obvious. So I figured angry emoji- sticking tongue out emoji- sunglasses emoji would underscore the fact that I wasn't offended and I respected your right to your opinions. You know, all the same stuff I said in post #69 [["However, because we're talking art, it's all open to interpretation. If you don't hear it, you don't hear it, and so it isn't. I hear it, so it is. That's one of the great things about art. No right or wrong.") and post #77 [["...when assessing music period that it is subjective and based on a person's interpretation...But it's Soulster, so I figured no offense was meant. He has definite opinions, as do I."). The world won't end if you don't think Diana Ross is an r&b singer, and I didn't treat it as such. I did attempt some good natured ribbing that apparently didn't go over well.

    We'll put this in the misunderstanding category and move on. But I'm watching you...

    Sarcasm.

    It is difficult to determine one's tone and intent through the written word on the internet, especially on this forum where people come out swinging for no good reason.
