You are 100% right.

Ineffective written communication impulses has plagued me for many years. I come across as “too much bark and not enough wag”. Verbally, my personality comes across quite positive and welcoming. It is only when I write that this trait rears it’s head. Mea culpa.

Re-reading my responses, I see how overly caustic I sound.

Jason, deserves an apology that the negative tone of my writing overpowered the point I was trying to make. Jason, if this reaches you, consider an apology delivered from this end.

Keep reading and keep writing, everyone.
