  My style of writing in the internet is often quite direct. This often
makes me sound rude even though it's not at all my intention.

  At one point, many years ago, I simply got tired of overusing smileys
everywhere and trying to think of "soft" ways of writing my opinions in
order to try to avoid anyone get offended. I thought something along the
lines of "heck, why am I going through all this trouble to try to avoid
someone getting offended by something I am not trying to say in an
offensive way?"

  Granted, it's not a very smart way to behave, but after interacting in
the internet so actively for so long as I have, you just get tired at
some point and stop caring. I just say what is in my mind.
