Thanks—I appreciate that! We all underestimate how provocative our posts will end up being, usually by a good 10x. I struggle with this daily.

I think it's because in our mind, the comment is blended together with the intention behind the comment, which is usually benign. We take our intent for granted and assume it will come across, but of course the people who read it have no direct access to that intent, and often it doesn't come across.
