Letters to the Editor

I'm now beginning to believe that he has a reading comprehension issue.
Bucky would be far from alone in that.
From my point of view it is exceedingly difficult to make oneself unambiguously understood. I find GG's prose very clear and yet he is constantly being misread, I see examples nearly every day.
Online communications are fraught with possibilities for miscommunications and misunderstandings. It just comes with the territory of written dialog which is not edited and seldom even proofread..
My own worst writing habit is that I tend to leave words and phrases out, particularly if I'm interrupted while I'm writing (something that happens to me a lot). If it's something tricky I'll proofread but mostly I just hit the publish button when I think I'm done.
There have been a few times when I really shouldn't have been posting, events in my personal life have emotionally colored my postings and I have written things I later regretted. I think that sort of thing happens to most of us.
