I reckon that it is possible to be both a wind up and literal while doing so; if (when?) I do deliberately annoy people it's not implied or ambiguous but explicit and something everyone is aware of (and so I can't deny it afterwards), whereas what I'm talking about here is the reading of non-existent stuff between lines. Quite tellingly I seem to get away with the former more than the latter.<BR/><BR/>As for non-verbal communication, a number of people seem to misunderstand me in person too. I suspect email etc just exaceberates an existing issue.Shakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657830810835591711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048953.post-48743652287677277252008-08-04T20:38:00.000+01:002008-08-04T20:38:00.000+01:00anonymous -- ooh. cruel!Shak, in another post you ...anonymous -- ooh. cruel!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Shak, in another post you write:<BR/><BR/>>> So I have this habit of winding people up. Yes, sometimes it's deliberate (and it's obvious when it is judging by the reactions of others) but more often it's not.<BR/><BR/>So there are occassions when you're not being literal then? If so, how are people to know when you are and when you aren't being literal? Particularly online with 80% of communication being non-verbal blahdy-blah.The Big Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824130545139171385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048953.post-72502041259336931022008-08-04T12:02:00.000+01:002008-08-04T12:02:00.000+01:00Most geeks have a touch of autismMost geeks have a touch of autismAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048953.post-64551541166529154762008-08-04T00:35:00.000+01:002008-08-04T00:35:00.000+01:00I think it's normal to tailor reponses to differen...I think it's normal to tailor reponses to different people, but most people probably do this naturally as per the relationship you have with them,i.e. if i didn't know someone very well i would be more polite in a response, whereas with my best mate a one word answer would be cool..and expected. it may be worth considering and managing expectations other people will have, on the other hand if you're happy with the way you respond and feel your intention is clear then it's no big deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
