Okay well if it's not what you say it's how you say it, that wouldn'tapply here because you can't hear the tone of the person's voice so youdon't know how it's being said. It's easy to take offense to thingswhen you can't hear the tone of someones voice.

Yes but the written word like the Bible sure packs a lot of punch and it was rather metaphorical when I wrote what I did.
