vow *never* to post something that is a subtle dig at another

We can vow to do what you said, Time0, but how another takes our statements, no matter how gentle or well-intentioned, is beyond our control. Other people's perspectives and POVs are out of our control.

None of us, nowhere, can we please all of the people all of the time. The listener has as much responsibility in how they take in things said as much as the speaker has the responsibility to state things in an understanding, caring manner.

Unfortunately, the lines of communication are always breaking down because of perspectives and magnified by our own mental illnesses.
