Guys. look at the contexts please!
Listen, writing clearly and honestly and strongly, doesn't mean I am having a smug fit on the other end. It means I use the medium concisely to maximise making a point.
The difference between writing and in person, is that a "twinkle in the eye" communicates the other 80% which is desire for deeper friendship, and acceptance of that which I'm disagreeing.

Funny....you'd think that an Australian (like myself), would have a pretty good chance of interpreting another Australian's "style of communication"! Perhaps not!
