Miserable Pile Of Words

Speaking as someone who assumes himself to be neurotypical, I've always hated the assertion that tone doesn't carry in text, as basically an admission that the person doesn't want to put any effort into writing or reading. It's especially galling, when the same person will turn around and talk about how evocative some poem feels, or how funny they found a book, because...do those not rate as conveyed tone?

i don't hate writing to people with tone markers, but reading things from neurotypicals? especially when you don't know the person at the other end of the line? that's hell in ambiguity
