The attitude that comes across? See, that attitude is generally reflected not by the poster, but by the viewer. Haven't we all been misread by others at some point here? I know that I have, and I have done a lot of misreading as well.
I have read the same post that others have read and responded to, but I didn't 'hear' what they heard, and would have responded quite differently than others did. I'm sure you have done the same.
As for bias, well, we all have that....LOL!
