I am very careful with my wording here and the direction of my thoughts because it is a social gathering if you will. I would never want to hurt anyone's feelings. When you are typing/reading and you can't hear someones tone or see body movement it is easy to misunderstand someone's thought intent. However, rude comments or culturally directed comments are just obvious. Its out there and once it is said..it is said.
We are a socially polite bunch for the most part. Rarely do you see any cursing compared to what we probably say around the house at time 
I havent seen any blatent racial or cultural comments..ok maybe one..lol
But yes, I believe we have to own up to what we say |
i agree
I have typed SO MANY posts and ended up deleteing them as i re-read i try and see if what i am saying can be taken the wrong way and if it can i delete it. Of course I dont want to hurt anyone intentionally. I will say this I have read many posts and shook my head at the ways it can be taken. SOme just dont think of others when they say stuff. I think we all know who those are eventually and avoid reading or posting to those people. There are a few that i will just skip right over their posts and go to the next being I dont wanna get upset or angry. I think the longer your a member and get to know others you realize who's intentions are what and just go from there! And if you see a member you think you know and read a post by them that strikes you wrong...Just ask them PRIVATELY what it meant and you'll prolly find it wasnt what you thought and all is well. Just a lil benefit of the doubt goes a long way!! If I ever say anything that seems odd or off the wall for me Id appreciate a PM saying "What the hell is wrong with you?????"
and maybe a Are you serious???? lol Im appraochable and I NEVER mean to hurt feelings at all!!!!!!
