Deliberately? I generally ascribe to the camp that says: when the majority or a large portion of the audience misinterprets what is being said, the problem lies not with with readers but with the author. Perhaps it is you who mis-wrote not us who mis-read.
What you wrote came off as incredibly arrogant. Especially with your recent promotion.
- cwilson 13y agoIncredibly arrogant? Really? Sorry, but you're definitely mis-reading that one and you've clearly never met Sam.

- thatthatis 13y ago~99% of the people reading this or the original article have never met Sam. Parts of the original article, as written and without knowing the author, came off as very arrogant. If the words require a personal relationship with the author to be interpreted correctly, then there's probably a more clear way to express them. I'm sure Sam is a great guy in person, and I've enjoyed all of his articles I've read to date. Parts of this one came off as arrogant -- which isnt me saying or thinking that it was intended to, or that Sam actually is.
- midas007 13y agoYeah, I was "0.0 Wtf?" Seems very undeserved and comes off as mean.
- thatthatis 13y agoI was trying to be constructive, but I can definitely see how it could come off as mean
- midas007 13y agoCool. What we write here has an impact on someone on the other end. 'sama is mostly human too, despite magically colored collared polos.
