Your confusion is certainly understandable, and even forgiveable.

But to say that your confusion had no significant effect on the validity of telling somebody they have come up with a great way to kill their brother? I would have found the validity of that statement questionable whether it was directed at the right person or not.

Even in confusion, what exactly about telling somebody that they have come up with a great way to kill their brother can be taken any other way than offensive? Even if it was not the person you intended to tell, it's still an offensive, useless and inexcusable post.

You continue to have trouble understanding why people react to you the way they do. I can't figure that out.

George, your quixotic crusade against amateur kayak builders building unsafe boats is neither admirable, nor likely to be successful.
