How do you do it?

Now I'm wondering which emoticon I should have used to make it clear that it was meant to be funny..

It tickled me, but I can be clueless, so didn't run with it like I might have in person.  My playfulness can be interpreted as sarcasm on line sometimes, though I never mean to offend.

heaven forbid cracked pan, haven't you ever heard the term "don't be a hater"?

it is for people who sit back and talk smack on people doing things that they don't agree with.

it had nothing to do with you, you hadn't even posted yet. if you have crowd anxiety? then don't go around crowds, simple. but don't sit there and decry the people who are doing it. again this is not pointed at you.

nobody is judging you and I wouldn't even if I knew you.

Thank you all for your thoughts here.  No offense taken and I understand HDR wanting to keep this civil.  It's difficult sometimes to communicate meaning in this format.  And easy to misunderstand intent.

Owl, what you said, friend.

Maki2, my daughter told me that when I am thinking, I look angry.  Yes to what you said, too.

Y'all make me smile, as difficult as my poor old face muscles may find that activity.
