And sprinkle almost three decades of military service on top of that, with the same type of stuff,
It is easy to see how some from different environments are a little rattled by it.
I didn’t read his comment the same way. I believe the issue is inherent to any forum or inherent to the typed word. It is devoid of all physical non-verbal queues. There is no facial expression, nor eye movement, no hands moving or waving and as you and Steyr suggested there is no inflection or tone of voice. I think guys who have been around traveling the country or world, or in the military aren’t affected by “yankee-talk” or “southern talk”think we can ID when a guy is rough around the edges or whether he’s just an asshat.
