I see "reaching out" as pulling in, controlling.
I am aware that I can come across as aggressive when I am reaching out. On PC, both Hankster and Stopdog have told me to back off, and with some justice. I apologise. I believe that everyone has the right to ask me to back off if they feel uncomfortable for any reason.

I don't know why I'm posting this, except that I am upset that my overtures are so easily misinterpreted.

Sometimes it's not that it's being misinterpreted, sometimes it's the wording we use that comes across wrong. I haven't read the threads to know what happened yet...just commenting on my own past experiences. Over the years here I've learned MOST TIMES to make sure my wording is diplomatic & trying to more generalize without any direct attack words & in life I've learned to NEVER say "always" or "never"...it's not easy to communicate in a way that won't strike someone the wrong way. Always best if questionable to write then reread & rewrite before pushing the post button

I'm very careful about my words.
I wonder if it might be a combination of my intensity and not knowing when to stop.
