Don't know how to say this ...

I have trouble interpreting sarcasm online and don't want to look like a douche thinking every thing that seems nice actually is nice. In particular, I have trouble detecting some of the nuances from you yankies. I have no trouble with the brits and others, but it's a problem I've had here since I started.

Also, Bruce and I might be friendly now, but there was a time when he didn't think much of my level of intelligence, so you can understand why I might think he's having a bit of a joke at my expense in this regard. I didn't think he was trying to be hurtful, but I thought he might have been having a chuckle to himself.

When it all comes down to it, I'm insecure about some things, just like everyone else.

Nay, nay. there was a time when I was working 2nd shift, you and I would be the only ones here in the middle of the night(Cellar time) quite often. I would be here because we had a lot of far east spammers signing up at that hour.

So you would post and I would usually post a response, and because we disagreed on a lot of things you thought I was stalking you. I could tell because you'd sometimes get pissed when I agreed with you.

But I never questioned your intelligence, I just chalked it up to you living your whole life upside down.
