Thing was, **pencilpusher** wasn’t looking for empathy or sympathy, so it came across as condesending.

It was just one little comment. It wasn’t meant to be condescending. When you put your personal info on the internet, you can’t get too offended when someone responds to it.

Heh, obviously. I got attacked for something unrelated to the comment or the thread, and my comments from other threads got taken completely out of context.

That’s kind of how I saw it, too.
