If I'm coming off that way it's only because I haven't put the smileys that people have (unfortunately) come to rely on to communicate tone in forum posts. As you read above I haven't said anything that is aggresive.
Yeah, I'm just being super-careful here because I know that mafia games can get quite heated (with me being a culprit on more than one occasion), and I want to avoid that here.
And I know what you mean about smileys, but I've learned that sometimes you have to use them in mafia games to maintain a friendly tone even as you tear into someone else's carefully-crafted arguments.
