Kind of the same thing with me. I grew up in a family/culture where sarcasm and ball-breaking was the norm, and frankly, a sign of endearment between individuals.
I find people are sometimes overly sensitive on here (and I may me biased), and that sometimes results in “negative” exchanges between myself and fellow posters. I’m working with the Dhali Lama himself, however, and I am becoming a more enlightened poster.
