In my opinion, it is of no consequence that Jamas is a long time user/poster here and the OP of that thread (which I seen) was a newbie. I do think they made some simple mistakes with how they were presenting the "sale" of their VX. Yes, most of us here know you Jamas, but your reply could have been and obviously was construed with some sort of ill intent.

Who is at fault here then? Who has the responsibility of making sure the communication is received as it is sent? In my world, I take what people say as what they mean. If my perception is off, then I ask questions.

Again and in my opinion: I say both of you were a bit off or even wrong. They were a bit to sensitive to what you said, and you were not clear on your intent. Now.... what was the outcome? We lost what could have possibly been a valuable member of this VX "family".

This one might be a bit harsh, but I promise it is only meant for perspective. Jamas, you said you were thinking about leaving due to this. Could it be that you are being a bit to sensative about this, much like that OP was to your comment?

In closing: THINK before you speak. THINK before you act.
