[FONT=Bitstream Charter, serif]Hello Th0mas,[/FONT]
[FONT=Bitstream Charter, serif]One of the reasons I have wondered if English is your first language is your constant usage of “What may you think“ instead of “What do you think” or “What made you think”.[/FONT]
[FONT=Bitstream Charter, serif]Another is because you often don’t catch the “meta-meaning” of what someone has posted. The following is an example:[/FONT]

You: I chose to reply to you. What may you think proves precisely that I didn't choose ?
[FONT=Bitstream Charter, serif]This was meant as a joke. He/she was being playful with you. The appropriate response would have been to be playful back. [/FONT]

“[FONT=Bitstream Charter, serif]Caution Brother, while the idea seems a good one, you are also bound by where ever the Admins allow you to post. Just saying.............
As well..........God IS NOT the Author of confusion........nor the Promoter of disputations within His Church”[/FONT]
[FONT=Bitstream Charter, serif]His comment was not offered as criticism, but as generic respectful advice.[/FONT]
[FONT=Bitstream Charter, serif]You responded:[/FONT]
“[FONT=Bitstream Charter, serif]I'm not mocking you. Why did you post in here anyway ? Did you get bored of playing like a child in thread "Speak Your Mind" ? Or did you come to have a disputation that you didn't really want ?”[/FONT]
[FONT=Bitstream Charter, serif]You are mocking him in this very paragraph. You judge him to be “playing like a child”, and that his motivation was to be argumentative. It again comes from not really understanding what he was trying to communicate. You took general respectful advice as a personal insult and responded with an insult.[/FONT]
[FONT=Bitstream Charter, serif]The extent to which you are obedient to the Holy Spirit is between you and God. But do you think it is honoring to God when you misunderstand something someone says and then insult them for it?[/FONT]
[FONT=Bitstream Charter, serif]This misunderstanding of what people post is what leads me to wonder if English is your first language.[/FONT]
[FONT=Bitstream Charter, serif]Thomas, I don’t think I am trying to be judgmental toward you. I am merely offering some observations that are between you and the LORD GOD to evaluate.[/FONT]
[FONT=Bitstream Charter, serif]With sincere humble respect, if English is your first language, are there some “issues” in your life that tend to affect your interaction with other people? I have several myself. I am severe ADHD, a bit autistic, and had a “difficult” childhood.[/FONT]
[FONT=Bitstream Charter, serif]I hope you will not take this note as disrespectful. Part of my “issues” relate to being too honest and straightforward when trying to interact with others. I regularly don’t understand how I come across to others and it has caused me problems all of my life.[/FONT]
[FONT=Bitstream Charter, serif]I apologize if this note is inappropriate. It was not meant to be.[/FONT]
[FONT=Bitstream Charter, serif]Thank you for taking the time to read it.[/FONT]
