Naa dude, c'mon. Over what? A traffic court case? Who cares? One of the problems with writing, I guess, is that you can't read body language or hear tone of voice. Check this out. This is how human communication breaks down percentage-wise:
"7 percent verbal (words)
38 percent vocal (volume, pitch, rhythm, etc)
55 percent body movements (mostly facial expressions)"
This applies to a verbal conversation, but I have no reason to believe that a written conversation is much different. If that's true, it means that by writing to one another, we're probably only receiving about 7 percent of the message the other is trying to convey. If we were in a bar somewhere, and you were paying attention to me instead of that little hottie in the low rise jeans, you would be able to "read" much more of my communication and realize that I was just making a point in a friendly argument.
On this end, that exchange was no more serious than I'm an Eagles fan and your Raiders suck.
