@BPDSurvivor  So true. I've been misconstrued more then once over a written message. There's a lot that's left up to the reader's imagination, as you say (e.g. tone).

Still, for some of us, even with all it's pitfalls, we are able to communicate far more effectively and clearly via writing then we ever could with real-time discussion. I guess all forms of communication have their respective pitfalls, and it just comes down to the individual as to which form suits their own individual strengths and weaknesses the best.
