katarik, who were you talking to? This thread suddenly got very peculiar.

[(Anonymous)]

Thread was about liking DarkHeart and Christy, anon posted an idea about a story, Kat made a condescending reply for some reason, anon felt insulted, deleted their side of the conversation and left, the end. Not that strange.

[(Anonymous)]

...how was their reply condescending?

I don't get this at all.

[katarik]

I hadn't meant to be condescending. What I had meant to do was 'oh, hey, we both like this ship, let's talk about why!' Apparently involving the Care Bears in a potential sequel to a Care Bears storyline was a no-go. It might have looked like I was trying to steal the bunny with the last line? That's the only cause for offense I can see? But that wasn't my intended implication.

Nothing I can do about someone misreading my comment, being offended, and taking their toys and going home except to say in an open thread that that wasn't my intent and I'm sorry to have caused offense.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm reading it and it's coming off like you're insulting/talking down about something. "Oh hey look, the care bears just magical themselves up a middle class family who wants a son and is near all the kids. Oh, that's nice, they also for some reason want a boy! What a coincidence!" Plus the icon, comes off as snarky.

[katarik]

Huh. Okay, thanks for explaining how I was coming off as being insulting. I was applying Care Bears type logic -- I can totally see the Bears doing that -- and I still don't see how I was condescending, but I can see how it could be taken that way? I appreciate you taking the time to say so.

The icon is my default, referencing *another* deep, deep ship of mine (Adeline Kane/Slade Wilson, DC Comics). I forgot to use the Care Bears one because I was heading to bed. But in combination, yeah, I see what you mean. Sort of icing on the cake, as it were. Thanks.

[(Anonymous)]

Condescending in the sense that it read like your reply was entirely just about how the idea was stupid/negative, if that makes sense

[katarik]

Oh! Okay! Now I get it. ... Oops. Yeah, I can see how that got across. Thank you for clarifying!

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe the other person was insulted but... it kind of makes them look worse, deleting all their comments like that instead of saying "Hey, did you mean to sound condescending just now?"
