Its all good brother, don't sweat it. This means of communication doesn't convey tone very well - as I have had the misfortune to be misunderstood more than once myself.
I am the opposite - I can play using 2d (like a pc program) but right now I have a small set up beside me as I type playing - I do much better having a physical board. If I didn't have a real board, my play would suffer dramatically. Each to their own.
