Comments on: Do You Feel Blogger Vibes? http://marinasmusings.com/do-you-feel-blogger-vibes/ This is probably going to be controversial.

We don't have our facial expressions to help convey meaning, and even radio can use voice inflections. All a blogger has are words, conveying anything beyond straight fact is difficult, especially when being sarcastic. I like to think I've been gifted with wording, but I also think that what I like to think is probably inaccurate according to others.

What helps for ME is to realize that some people (including myself) aren't always good at conveying what we're feeling, and instead it comes off as something else to some eyes. The nature of the internet, I think. Speaking for myself, I know that sometimes things I say are phrased in a way that seem to mean one thing, when in actuality I meant something quite different. I get a lot of emails questioning my intent. hehehe It’s not just you. :) Happens to me ALL the time…I even get irritated at my favorite bloggers for similar reasons sometimes!
