# I do think. I was in a bad mood this morning.
I don't hate either. I dislike you a bit, taking previous evidence into account. I'm not putting you on ignore, because you do post decent pictures now and then when you're not being a dick.

As for your final comments there, about purging hatred, and generalising the psychology of a country, I'm afraid you're showing yourself up a bit.

I've put my point across. I'll try not to upset you again.

# As I say, you do have to try reading things in your own voice.
How you can read the sentences: "Unless of course you are Scottish, in which case keep bottling it up. It's for the best." in a serious tone is, to be frank, a little beyond me.

It probably explains why you think I am rude though.

I am not going to stop being a dick though, it is kind of what b3ta is for. I was being enough of a dick to get banned before you even found us.

# I didn't say you should stop it.
But you shouldn't be so surprised when people are dicks to you in return.

I think my interpretation of that sentence was quite accurate. I think your words might have been the problem there.

I also think that you are slightly deluded about your ability to convey "tone" in your writing. If I read it in my own voice, whether in a neutral, angry, happy, cheeky, surprised or disgusted tone, the meaning remains the same. As we were not currently engaged in a particularly friendly discourse, I understood the tone to be negative, irrelevant and pathetic, rather than jokey, cheeky, flirtatious, or whatever it was supposed to be.

Anyway, that's me. It was a fairly interesting discussion.

# It's not so much my ability to convey tone, as the subject.
Maybe it is just that I cannot imagine ever saying something that vitriolic seriously. I guess I am just nicer than some people you know.
