This reply of yours is a perfect example. I have done nothing or taken any tone towards you, yet you have imagined I have imagined a tone for your messages, which then affected the tone you imagine I’m taking.
Because again, while text can be neutral, speech isn’t.
You can read a user manual and the objective texts in it won’t be imagined with any tone. But a personal message like this? You have already imagined what tone of voice, I’m using and with what sort of rhythm and tempo as well.
No need to take sides in the actual discussion
I haven’t. Perhaps you’ve imagined that based on imagining a negative tone to a completely neutral reply? Almost as if humans had a tendency to do that. Weird how no-one has brought it up. Oh wait, right, I have, that’s what we are discussing.
I realise your intention perfectly.

Made me laugh, thank you.
