Jack's House of Buggery

My usual "it depends" ;). If I was in chat with someone whose perspective I generally trust, I'd probably run it by them first, and then respond accordingly. Otherwise, unless I thought they were totally wacked (in which case I'd say something like, "I'm honestly not sure how you're getting that from what I wrote"), I'd probably (a) ask for clarification, (b) explain that it was not my intention to create X reading, or (c) apologize and explain that it was done in ignorance.

Or somethin' like that ;).
