Definitely true, especially when we are talking about people from so many different nationalities. And on the internet you are missing the input from facial expressions and body language. But if we all just lighten up we will be ok. The point is to have a spirited discussion, not to agree on everything. Discussions are no fun when you have to watch every word to make absolutely sure that nobody could possibly take it the wrong way. And if misunderstandings do happen, then a quick explanation should suffice and we all forget about it. Am I right or am I right?
