Sally is my friend, though we have never met. We have some similar views (we tend to like the same men) and some wildly differing ones (we definitely don't like the same women). She has a rather different mode of expression to mine, but at least it means I can tell who's writing the post, even when she doesn't sign it.
Upsetting my friends is a very quick route to alienating me. I happened not to share Kathryn's belief that Wendy was a troll until the post about Sally's mode of expression, which I thought was gratuitously unpleasant. I am glad that Wendy has stated that this was not meant as a personal attack, and hope that she will learn to be more cautious in avoiding possible causes of misunderstanding. I also hope she will understand in the meantime if I regard her posts with a certain degree of wariness.
Prissy mode off. You may return to your normal programming.
