Generally stopping before posting to check whether you're calm is a good way of eliminating most cases of your post being misread. Posting in anger, excitement, basically any strong or semi strong emotional state significantly increases the risk of miscommunication. And miscommunication is the single most frequent reason for conflicts.
Be more zen.
Anyway, I am glad we can talk about this in a civil way, I was worried this discussion might escalate into something nasty and personal.

I think you must not be familiar with my posts, because you think that's not me being calm, haha. Normally I'm very blunt and concise with my posting and I don't use as many big words when I'm pissed, but that's not the case here. Like I said many people like to glomm on to the trope that "Hermione is a dramatic bitch" and think I'm incapable of civil discourse, but since you treated me with respect and weren't a total dickbag about your opinions (at least not much
) I treated you the same, as befitting your sane and rational response.
