I never myself perceived the tone as ice-cold but I
have understood that's what it is. Either I'm used to
it or other people are deranged, and I'm normal. You,
reading this message, probably won't get angry from it
or feel threatened or whatever. And you shouldn't. But
I get a mail my boss or teacher right now, and I write
a letter expressing disagreement and omitting the
"Hello," and "yours truly" parts he might blow up
instantly and start yelling of things I don't know
where come from. That happened to me so many times so
now I always stop to think, "hey, this is a normal
person, so I can't use normal language"... And then
when things cool down they always say "Of course, I'm
happy to discuss this with you, just not used to the
way you approach me..." (?!) Beats me.
