Frank and Bill:

I think it's best if someone says something and it's
not clear that we ask them what they meant by the
statement. We can repeat back what we think they said
in our own words and ask them, "Is this what you're
saying?" Then they can say, "Yes, that's what I mean,"
or "No, I didn't mean to say that, I really mean that ..."

Sometimes one picks a fight, getting angry and not
realizing what they're doing. Other times one may
be acting as a prankster and trying to get someone
else mad at them. I'd think that it's not worth getting
mad and expending much energy if the issues aren't
important and there's nothing to be gained by anyone.
And when someone is just teasing us, a "ha ha!" may be
in order, but we usually can decide if we'll let others
push our "I'm Angry Now" button or not.
