There are some days when I get through a discussion or another post and some one comments back and the way they ask a question to me some times can be hard for me to understand what they are trying to ask. Then if i ask a question to there question all of a sudden they get defensive or they ask me question about why I’m mad, angry, or why am I worried. Wait what? Me asking doesn’t means I’m upset or anything. I just ask because I want to make sure what your asking me actually gets answer and if your question is unclear I’m going to ask you why you asked or what you mean. It’s never a bad thing to have clarification.

Sometimes it's hard to convey messages. If such is the case I would rather stop interacting.

You won’t talk to someone if they are unclear or you talk to someone if they ask you a question?

@ShyBear88 I answer a clarification, I don't talk anymore if I get rude answers and I encountered that here. I was just trying to help but I was misunderstood and even insulted.

That makes for a good exchange of ideas since this is a social format.

Some times it doesn’t and it also show different styles of write. Some people write the way they talk and other write to write.

Sometimes through text things get misinterpreted. That is the bad thing. It's not the same as discussing in person. I speak english but i am use to speaking slang english. I try my best to make things understandable. They shouldn't get mad.

Not texting just online. But yes texting some times with autocorrect and stuff people can make things unclear depending on how they write. I know enough slang to get by if it’s dont in texting style since I was raised in the technology boom, but also speak and write English clearly enough for people to understand. But if English isn’t another person native language things can get mixed up.

@Ladanger I get it more often online the I do any other way or communicate. One or two people will take it as I’m upset or angry when really I just wanted to know what they where trying to say or ask me.
