Yeah I think I have to agree with kleinbl00 here. I'm not talking about the reddit discussion but the one about why you feel you're constantly picked apart and attacked.

On the last two things I posted here, you were the first (and only one) to comment. I mean, cool I like discussion! But while I don't have the skilz to actually understand why something about your responses irked me. I was ready to reply on a very defensive tone but toned it all down considerably. I thought "why am i so bothered?" re-read your comment and didn't find anything to be hostile about so I toned it all down and replied in a friendly manner. I figured it was my insecurities projected on you and you were not to blame that I felt a certain way. We then proceeded to have a perfectly cool interaction.

But then I noticed other people misinterpreting your comments in other threads too. I don't have any specific advice and I'm sure you don't mean to but there is just something in the way you say things that puts people on the defensive. Conversations get heated from that point on.

You're very intelligent tho and I hope you stick around. Just... I don't know, try to be a bit less.... eh... arrogant? Nah, that's not the word I'm looking for but something along those lines.

Does that happen to you outside Hubski? Tag me when you do run that game, I'll participate if I've got time :)
