Now, Cawacko, if you had to "guess" what would you think the "tone' of that post might be???
One of the biggest challenges on the internet when reading just words is getting the author's tone. In person it is obviously much easier to pick up whether the person is being sarcastic, funny, mean in tone etc.
In this case I was probably being a dick and mocking the poster with my question because he wrote 'what's called a southern strategy' as if political junkies (all of us who spend large amounts of time on this board) wouldn't know what the southern strategy is.

Probably a girl yelling at me after I said I wouldn't go out with her on a date? (ok, I'm know I'm dreaming someone would ask me out, pre-marriage obviously, but work with me here.)
Picking up on tone is important when someone is subtle...it really becomes less important when someone is typing "FUCKING COWARD" and the like.
you are injecting your emotions when you read those words, you seem to fail to grasp the possibility that they are said in another tone. That is your problem.

It's really not a problem for me.
Oh come on, you must have gotten pursued a lot, I've seen you without a shirt, and when I passed it around the reviews were all raves. SF is still fuming over it.
it is when you consistently rely on your interpretation of others emotions to formulate your response to them.
Yeah, we all know SF only has one tone monotone,
Yawn
Haha, thank you. Probably because I had no game.

I almost felt guilty taking that shot... it was too easy.
