Misinterpretations

Have you ever had someone in SL or even RL completely misinterpret your actions or words. In SL I know it is difficult as there is no vocal inflections or facial expressions. Most people who know me know my fondness for dropping rocket scripts in any possible object and launching or trying to launch them into oblivion. It is just something I do and it has nothing to do with anything going on around me. Sometimes I get carried away with it and it annoys people and as soon I as I realize this or am made aware of it I stop. 

I received a note card from someone who I would have thought would have said something to me directly but instead chose to send me a note card the next day. I guess he stewed overnight about it. He said in his note that it really annoyed his BF as he had just arrived home from a stressful day at work. And then I was accused of using the rockets as a message that I no longer want the author of the note around. Gosh ... I was pretty befuddled by the anger in the note. First of all how am I supposed to know what is going on in some ones first life especially when it wasn't communicated to me.  And if I didn't want someone coming around anymore I would have either talked to them or if I really wanted to be passive aggressive banned them. 

I am the first to admit I get carried away with launching anything I can put the scripts into. Boots Mission unfortunately sat on one of my rocket cows and ended up launched into space (I haven't seen him since) when someone clicked on the cow randomly. And on occasion I do have a malicious streak which I try to tamp down when it comes to the surface, usually when someone really annoys the hell out of me. 

All this leads me to my point ... I have to be more careful and perhaps just sit quietly around people so I don't get them mad at me because they chose to see my words or actions in a negative way instead of me just being the bit of an ass that I can be when goofing around.

I guess I should go respond to that note card now.
