Hmmm. I've been trying to figure out what I mean here. I think what I mean is intent. A person who scores a hit for the sole intention of scoring a hit might be bitchy. But a person can score a hit when their intent is far more benign.
I remember once here on the board, I was saying that I couldn't change, that this was the way I was and I knew I would do things this way. And someone posted a reply to the effect of "And how is that working out for you?". Ouch. A hit. But no ill intent. In fact, I appreciated it.
Am I making any sense at all?
