but Lex yet you have remained honest with people and with yourselves. Right -- it's just that there are always some who take issue with reality. I'll make fun of bad spelling or grammar, for example -- without ever naming names (I don't really have the time to list a couple hundred thousand people!) -- and someone will, almost inevitably, take offense. I'm supposed to ignore reality and just blithely accept that there are going to be a significant percentage of posts which I will never be able to decipher, because someone doesn't understand the need for clarity and comprehensibility in a written medium! I'm sorry, I just don't operate that way. Yes, Lex, I suffer from the same condition. I have been chastised on here repeatedly for expecting clarity. |

I'm sorry, I just don't operate that way. Well I'm happy to keep such great company, I say if we all just tried to get along - this is the internet for Pete's sake. Hell take the advice, constructive criticism in a positive sense and learn something from it. We are never too "young"  or "smart" enough to not be able to learn something. JMO

I think name calling is rude. I just like to say what I think about a topic. In general, I want to comment on a topic, not on the person who posted it; and I like to use "I" statements. "I think", "I feel", etc. not, "You are.." And still people take offense. There are people -- I am convinced of this -- who go out of their way to try to find something to be offended about. We used to have a guy on here who would file an abuse report every time someone disagreed with him. Didn't matter how the disagreement was phrased, how civil or cordial it was -- if you disagreed with him, it was abuse, plain and simple. I personally don't (in public) rate profiles anymore -- too many people getting too bent out of shape if someone makes a suggestion -- and I've never been very good with doling out blanket praise for things that simply don't merit it.... |

Tactfully honest if possible! If that's sugar coating, then maybe I do. I may play with suggestive statements if I'm riled enough, but never name call. I think it's incredibly immature and distasteful. I did it once when I was young and will not do it again. I think name calling is rude. I just like to say what I think about a topic.

well, that is nice of you to say. I have been known to go over the line in the heat of the moment but I will also be the first to admit it was wrong and to apologize, publicly and privately. I am not perfect. But I am not here to hurt people; I just like to be heard, like anyone else. Thank you for your kind words. |

I'm sorry, I just don't operate that way. The thing is, I have crappy spelling, I am well aware of my spelling so I really don't take offense when someone points it out. I can laugh at myself, because I'm secure enough to do that. A joke is funny if it's about me or if it's about someone else, and most people can't see it that way. It's only funny when it's about someone else. I laugh at me all the time, I'm a fricken' riot... I say and do dumb stuff ALL the time. |

I have to laugh at myself - it's laugh or cry..and I am the one who has front row seats to see all the stupid things I do..how could I not laugh? |

You know what is sad? I KNOW there are some people who would take offense at this whole thread. They would tell me I am being vicious and venomous because of this post. I know who they are, too.

I try my best not to upset others and in so doing I do not visit as often as I used to ( in comparison to the first months when I first joined)which was a year ago |
