My tone is constantly misread aroud the Mariner blog-o-sphere...I can honestly say I *never* enter a debate hoping to embarrass the other side or expecting every single other person to agee with me or thinking myself above reproach. But because I tend to use strong wording more than I should, the entire blogosphere thinks I'm some kind of nut suffering from extreme hubris and delusions of grandeur. Dr. Naka has had a tendency not to listen too well to the other side in debate, but I don't think he intends ill will and I don't think this particular post of his that Dr. D was so angry about had extreme tone with it...I think that you folks are seeing tone because there was tone in previous posts at MC so you're more likely to find it from now on...I know because this has happened to me.
