If you brought your age up in some attempt to make me feel as though I was behaving like a child for coming to you with a valid concern, I'll go ahead and let you know that I'm thirty-four. I have been RPing for 8 years as well, through varied formats, and it is a constant learning experience for me.

I apologize if you felt like my approach was spelling it out for you, but I have learned that it is often easier to approach simple suggestions like this without any emotion attached. It comes across far more as advice instead of someone being annoyed by a behavior.

I provided examples, because I know that seeing it laid out in such a manner can make it very clear the visual difference between how a tag looks in the varied formats. It can be helpful just to be able to compare them right on top of each other.

We all make mistakes in our writing. I still have issues with my comma placement, but the point is that people came to me about it and have tried to help me. I believe I have improved a great deal, because I have taken extra time to look at things and try to do what I can to fix my comment before I post it.

This is your HMD post and it does plainly state that you want to know how you are doing. That was all I felt I was doing. There is no flaming and no actual character crit that I can offer, as I am canon blind. I was simply stating a format issue and by bringing it to you, personally, I felt it was better serviced than taking it to any other avenue where it might not be viewed at all.
