<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 1395750, member: 6641&quot;]I apologize for using the two of you as an example but this is how it starts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both people misunderstood the other and both became defensive.&nbsp; Technical writers (or those use to reading technical writing) placing the quotes around a clickable item is the proper way to identify an item on a screen.&nbsp; The defensive reply was the response with the added use of explanation points. The OP still saw it as sarcasm and didn&#039;t realize they had received a technically correct answer even if it was hard for them to find.&nbsp; IMO: In the end both people felt like they were dissed and felt the need to defend their position.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>New at this, you said: <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">I just wish more could be done to make this forum friendlier</span></p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>If your first response had been &quot;I don&#039;t understand why you put the quotes around those words&quot;&nbsp; The reply probably would have been &quot;I was just trying to identify an area on the screen.&quot;&nbsp; That would have been the end of it.&nbsp; If onecoinpony had just responded &quot;that is the proper technical way to point something out on the screen and sorry you misinterpreted it as condescending as that was not my intent, I was only trying to help&quot; that would have been the end of it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When people read a post they need to take a step back and ask the question, did the poster mean something different than what I understood? Many times you will find that they did.&nbsp; Also, how do I take the high road and try to work this out like I would with someone standing in front of me.&nbsp; Often you will find that both try to outdo each other on that road up if that is the path chosen.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the important part:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Like someone else said ~ Life is too short to let the small stuff bother you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
