Originally posted by @fmfIf I perceived her words at me as having 'a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility' why would I not be justified in thinking she was angry? For the record, I don't perceive any of her words that she has written to me that way so I can conclude that she is not angry at me.
You can perceive her any way you want. Do you think she is actually angry?
Originally posted by @dj2beckerThanks to the dictionary definition, you now know that I am not angry. You perceived that I am, but I am not. At RHP I haven't been angry for about 8 years. Do you still think I am actually angry despite me saying this?
If someone were to perceive them as having 'a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility', why would they not be justified in using a dictionary definition of 'anger' to conclude that their perception of them is one of 'anger'?

Originally posted by @fmfIt's a tricky question. Have you ever lied in the last 8 years? If you are human you must have. How do I know that you aren't lying about not being angry?

Based on the dictionary definition you are 'angry' when you exhibit 'a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility'. I am not going to lie and say that I don't sense a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility in your words.
Originally posted by @dj2beckerOK, I see what you mean.

Originally posted by @dj2beckerSo you have difficulty perceiving anger, it seems.
You should ask her if she is.

Originally posted by @dj2beckerOh well, I don't feel strong annoyance, displeasure, or hostility, so if you think I am actually angry, then you are mistaken.
About 90% of your posts show strong annoyance, displeasure, or hostility.

Originally posted by @fmfForget your feelings for a second. Why should someone who perceives your words as having a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility be wrong in their perception when the perception is theirs and not yours?

Originally posted by @dj2beckerNo, I don't think it should. Stuff that goes on here doesn't make me angry either.
Nope why should it?
Originally posted by @dj2beckerYour mistaken perception - that I was angry when I posted - was mistaken. And now you have been set straight. Now you know I don't feel anger. Do you still perceive me to be actually angry? Do you think I am angry as I type this?
