In a forum conversation people often respond to the idea that you want to present even when you don't understand the idea.
I didn't get this part properly. My first approach is to depict my idea plain and descriptively without any emotional attachment.
I don't communicate my intention at first, it's they who create the idea that I had one. Only after they [mistakenly] insist that I had a specific intention (which is not true), I try to say that they are wrong and that that isn't my intention.

Most really influential people get laughed at. It comes with the territory as Steves often says.

Look at Bush. He is relativly influential, has crazy ideas like that there might be biological weapons in Iraq and he still is capable of pushing through his ideas.
OK, but in this case probably even the people listening to him get laughed at...? What are you trying to say with "it comes with the territory"?

Take 100% responsibilty for your actions. You did something that lead to that post.
If you are offended by those words you have a problem and have to work on yourself.
I take responsibility for my actions - how exactly do I have to work on myself?
