Well said, Craig. In our society today, whether we like it or not (I admittedly do not), people take things such as tone of our voices, the expression on our faces, our body communication or whatever else real serious these days. For example, just the way you look at a person can be described as being intimidating to them, whether you meant to or not. The normal, relaxed expression on my face just looks like I am one mean-ass s.o.b., but I am harmless. I had to learn to smile and such and express myself in other ways or I scare the hell out of people.
