Words on a screen?

This isn't a one-way communication form. Its a two-way format, and thus, constitutes a written dialog between two or more persons.

"Tone of voice" is a function of how you interpret the meaning behind the words and their intent.

I have told you that I did not write those words condescendingly. Your reply suggests you believe otherwise. You miscontrue my intent. You can't say what my intent was, only I can. You can only ascert what you thought my intention was in the wording of the post (which was mild nonaggresive, and sought to provide assurance that I did not intend to offend).

<hands up> Fine. I apologize for my unintended condescending tone.

I am not lecturing here. I am conveying information - at request.

The suggestion of "voice" when you're reading my posts was to convey that I post *atonally*, without emotion except where dirctly indicated, and with no intent other than to impart information.

Should you find my posts offensive, please ignore them.
