fdrake stepping down as a mod this weekend
Now that I don't have to be objective.
And you're probably already aware of this, but how literal and direct your interpretations of other people's posts are can come off as acerbic. If someone doesn't have a frame of reference for your social style anyway. That isn't just a you thing. People can interpret you being direct, literal and detail focussed as disrespectful and then escalate what they perceive as a conflict.
I'm not even sure you can do anything about it anyway, it's just something to be mindful of.
