I am not trying to turn it into an argument. I find it upsetting that people always want to turn what I say into something else.

I said that because you seemed to be quoting my message and repeating what I said in my message. However, it seems you are now trying to provoke me into an argument.

One minor mistake in grammar means that it is completely broken? Are YOU trying to provoke me into an argument?

I know it's off topic, I was simply responding to your message.

So I am flaming? No, I am simply expressing my frustration at your misinterpreting my messages. Now I am angry, since you are continuing to turn my messages into something they are now. This is yet another reason internet arguments occur.

Since the volunteers on the TDE mailing list seem to want to frequently start flame wars on their public mailing lists, I am very discouraged about whether or not it would be worth it to stay with TDE. If the TDE community is like this, it is not worth it. So, if we can stop twisting around each other words and JUST PLAIN STOP FLAMING AND TROLLING, I will stay and will try to help once I have my new hard disk. Otherwise, it just isn't worth if for me.

Am I overreacting? Maybe. Do I think I'm overreacting? Certainly not. This isn't the first time my words were twisted around, and it most certainly isn't the first time that flaming has occurred here.
