...All you had to say was, "I'm not worried about that, since this is a fun side project"

I wasn't trying to lecture you, I was trying to provide advice. You say you're doing this to have fun, but looking at the article, it doesn't sound like you're having fun...you venting out your frustrations shows very clearly in your blogs...but the blogs make it sound like you're angry at all of us, and think we're all morons.

Don't get me wrong, it ussually just happens without people realizing it. I've seen it happen in art classes all the time...they try to make a happy picture, but feel sad, so the picture looks sad.

You're doing a fun side project, but you feel frustrated about whatever's going on in your life, so the frustration shows through much too clearly, but is misinterpreted.

You say that the "anger" doesn't take away the message, but it does make people reluctant to accept it. When you shout "DON'T BE AN IDIOT!" All people are thinking is "I'm not!" even if you're right.

As for thepsych test you mentioned, read this (it's short, don't worry): http://badpsychologyblog.org/post/55885010495/are-people-who-use-a-lot-of-swear-words-more-honest-and

Let it sink in a moment...you were ranting about how everyone else doesn't know squat because they all watch CSI and shows like that (and assume that to be the case) and then you turn around and mention a psych test that was most likely made up.

Swearing does not make a person bad, or less intelligent, or anything else like that. I simply believe it is not necessary to get your point across, and does nothing to help with your message.

It's kinda like when speakers use the word "um" continuously...it doesn't make them less intelligent, but it is distracting from the message.
