I just try to make a habit of NOT generating conclusions based on inferences and limited conclusions. Otherwise known as "assuming".<br><br><i>"Stop throwing around extra terms like that.

Er...I mean...<br><i>"See? This is exactly what I'm talking about.

I just hate when I assume like that.

It's fine to assume, so long as those assumptions are implicitly or explicitly defined.<br><br>For instance, I'm assuming that my little comment is actually helpful to the subject matter. (It probably is not.)

Which is my problem here. I made a baseless assumption without announcing that it was an assumption. Generally I'll preface such thing with "Correct me if I'm wrong...", but I somehow neglected to do this. Which made me <i>really</i> mad. At myself.

not be so hard on yourself Gostway. Well we all make mistakes. That is part of being human. If I beat myself up everytime I made a mistake I would be in the hospital by now.

Guess it's just the stress of finals getting to me. I also tend to be incredibly sarcastic. I was also exaggerating more than a little bit. That whack, the following monolouge, and the subsequent re-whack were all the (online) equivalent of me saying "oh, whoops". So... just... drop... the issue. This discussion is starting to get on my nerves...<br><br>EDIT: Removed extraneous material.

Ohh. Don't wrap yourself up in us right now then. Study for those finals, they're more important then a silly internet argument.
