We all know the importance of interpretative charity in online discourse.

Ehee, I think some critters missed the memo. I've struggled all my life trying to get people to understand me but somehow people often seem (to me, at least) to make mind-pretzels instead of trying a "charitable" interpretation. I've always felt like many just want to lash out and hurt others, even when there's a perfectly reasonable interpretation that takes less effort to make.

mumblegrumble, et cetera
