I don't know if it was that bad, but a simple 
misunderstanding grew out into people assuming I 
deliberately talked down on them. The fact is that I am a 
teacher (math & chemistry) so I am used to try and help 
people understand things better. But now the effort was not 
appreciated at all, in fact it was interpreted as an 
insult. And only because the person did not in fact 
misunderstand, so I was answering a question that did not 
exist. 
Perhaps I should become less inclined to help? How is that 
for a theosophist, or a person trying to be one? 
No, I will continue to try and explain when I think I have 
a relevant answer or comment. Perhaps my skin needs to 
become more like one from an elephant.
