I have read over our conversation multiple times and I simply cannot figure out how you reacted that way. You literally went nuts right in the middle of a technical conversation and began to infer an imaginary emotional state.

I apologize. I did not understand you. I better understand you now.
If you go back to my post where I talked about having a beer, realize that that was me realizing that something was off. I did not know what it was, and my intention with that post onward was to try to break that barrier and get beyond any differences we might have. The only post which you would be correct in that I was slightly condescending towards you was the one where I echoed your 'Hmmm' heading. At no other point was my intention to malign you, and even that post wasn't meant to be an attack on you.
If you had a different personality than you do, you would have taken it differently and we may have reached this point far quicker or far more slowly. I don't know. But I am now far better aware of your intentions, and I will not respond that way again. So again, I apologize.
Know that I, too, hold your expertise in the highest esteem. Your Windows knowledge is light-years beyond mine, and I hope you continue to contribute your valuable insights here.
Maybe someday we can enjoy a round together and share more interesting stories than stupidities like these.
Best wishes,
David

Apology accepted, and I offer my apologies for not being a very good communicator. Let's move forward.

Hmmm,
After doing a bit of research it seems that miscommunication over text is fairly common. I found an interesting Honor's thesis done by a graduate of Liberty University (Klingensmith)
It's a fairly interesting read:
https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/6d1c/42aff4de6dd891f0130dbf333f02ad824032.pdf[^] On page 12 the section titled 'Erroneous Statements and Miscommunication in Text Message Communication' gives a great overview of the research done at the time the paper was written.
The results of the experiment are explored beginning on page 20 with a table of conclusions on page 22. According to the experiment Anger was misinterpreted about 20% of the time with P=.026 at a sample size of 40 participants.
The methodology looks a bit flawed however, so I would question the accuracy. The real value in reading the paper for a laymen like myself is the amazing list of sources at the bottom of the paper. This isn't really a subject that I am interested in... but if I want to explore further I would start at one of those sources.
Best Wishes,

The problem with just text is there is no tone or emotion involved in the message and so our brain will fill in the gaps. We use our own bias and prejudice to complete the message instead of just leaving it as is.
I've been accused of a lot of things on this site and it always makes me chuckle because they have nearly always been wrong and it ends up revealing their own bias and says more about them than it does me.
I think it's a fascinating subject.

Yeah,
I mentioned this in my original post. When searching using the site: operator the search engine works well with codeproject. But without it I can't find much of anything on the site in default search mode.

So seize the day back again and ask Paul pointed questions about how exactly it is that he knows this information. I've an inkling that may swap the expressions on your faces..

No need to ask. It's a well-known fact that all British men are cross-dressers, and this was just a soft-core version.

No points for guessing the expression on my face.
I wouldn't be able to see it in the mirror through all the tears to confirm or deny.
