    You do come across as angry, but if not you should do some self reflecting on why people take your style of tone as being upset and angry. Right now you seem to have shifted to being passive aggressive.

      Yah. That makes sense. After re-reading everything there are no aggressive statements; No explitives or insults. There’s nothing in thewords themselves displaying anger.

      However it is common for people to see disagreement or contention as a hostile attack. Especially when contesting a perceived morality. The only sensible reason I can see my words would appear angry to you, is that you’re reading my words with your emotions and conflating the two.

      So if I angered you in my questioning the validity of your moral condemnation, I apologize. It’s a regrettable consequence. One that’s common enough, I should have predicted it. I might have handled things differently if I had.

      Even my previous comment you called passive agressive, was intended to be condescending. I could have softened that more.
