No, more like:
  1. I call it like I see it, presuming the recipient is a mature programmer and understands that they aren't their code, and can understand that what i'm saying is also just my opinion, and not the voice of the Almighty.
  2. Presumption is shown false.
  3. I take a different approach, because if the message was important enough for me to type one way, it's also important enough for me to type a different way.
I really don't do anything different when I post. Some of them are heard the first time, some of them take clarification. It's the same in reverse: some questions make sense the first time, and some require feedback for adjustment. That's what dialogue is about.
