Very, thanks for asking. But I guess "no offense" means something different in your language.


Ramona, when someone starts a sentence with no offense, I am certain to be offended. Big smile

Oic Nakima. Sorry I misunderstood.

I only tried a player corp once and they turned out to be all pvp and wanted me online all the time (pre warfare) and it really turned me off to pvp and set me on the solo thing instead. Hopefully I can find a group that suits my game style a little better.

She seems nice enough... but that is how I normally interpret it also. Though I see her point now... lost I obviously didn't understand an hour ago... the eve uni wiki needs to include the thing about everyone suffering from cabin fever and Donneritus. Blink

Good luck!

How come? Is it a cross-atlantic language issue?

I can assure you that when I say "no offense", Im trying to say I dont mean to offend in a previous statement which may not be read as wittily as I intended it.

Look, "don't take this the wrong way" and "no offense" both mean that I'm about to say something that is going to cause offense and be taken the wrong way... those terms both are a set up to something... now it doesn't mean that you are trying to offended but with sarcasm being so ingrained in some western culture it is really had to know for sure... that and I read sacastically so that might not help. Lol

Fair enough :)

I just realise that sometimes my posts which are sarcastic or jokey on purpose dont always look it, so I use that as a signifier that they are. Didnt realise that the very caveat itself could be considered sarcastic, it certianly isnt where I am from.

None taken :)

NB: This may be why I have more arguments than I think I should be having in here lol
