Yes, that is exactly the problem. It invites fake responses and real responses are not appreciated at all. It's just noise.

[AlbertCory]

as I said: there is no problem. You prefer to live in a private hell, and there are lots of ways to signal that non-verbally.

Sorry? Are you a mind reader or something?

[AlbertCory]

a mind reader? no, it's fairly clear in your writing.

[jacquesm]

Forgive me if I think you're offensive. If it would please you to ignore my writings and refrain from commenting from now on that would help to reduce the discomfort.

Unbelievable.

[AlbertCory]

If you don't want comments, you can always refrain from commenting yourself. It'll save you from "offensive" replies. Try it.

I think you got confused about who you were replying to.

Private hell or public hell, you’re still in hell.
