me when I reread them).

Which is about the double standard you exact. If, in fact, your
posts are made without rancor, which is ridiculous on its face, you
insist that what must then be "carelessness" on your part be not
interpreted as insult, but that infinite care be taken with
correspondence directed to you in order that you not interpret it as
insult.

Phil Allison would blame this on autism, but he
blames a lot of stuff on autism. He's not an expert psychologist,
unlike my wife's academic colleagues (who won't use me as a test
subject any more, because I know too much).

More than likely that's what they tell you in order to dismiss you
gracefully and to keep from hurting your wife, to whom you must
certainly be an embarrassment.
