incredibly small-minded of you both

why is everyone here so frickin uptight? wait don't answer. i know. we were in a horrible cult. but why beat up each other this way? this is why i stop coming to these boards. people like you spoil it for me.
reading you both, both of you are just talking past each other and assuming the other said things (s)he didn't necessarily say, both over-sensitive and defensive about things no one accused them of, both taking the chance to diverge into other pet topics (in other words personal agendas?), both failing to address the other's concerns, suspicious, too proud to apologize, both smarter than thou. maybe just keep it simple and talk straight? this is not a meeting in person where you can see body language and hear the voice to derive nuances. if you both even bother to be just a little more focused in reading and writing you,d probably get along just fine. but maybe that cos i believe in the good nature of people and both you mistrustful and suspicious minds see the bad in people first? excuse the ranting. just my 2 cents.
