    Depends.. there's always this one user who seems to take things differently. can't please everyone I think society is losing the concept of context, which is pretty worrying.

  You have an understanding of how the computer means things and what everything on the screen represents. This is by no means universal. To you it is like breathing, beneath thought. Those who lack context as to what they're seeing, especially if frustrated and unable to parse what is visual noise to them, are likely to take it as the computer judging them negatively.
