I am globsmacked that you found Ann's response to you, offensive in ANY way....all she did was tell you the rules for posting! As ADULTS, I think I can safely say there are not any of us who read her response and saw it as a "public admonishment". All she did was explain the rules. Now, I feel I have to share with you that there ARE those of us that consider YOUR warnings and BOUNDARIES, as set forth to us in your post, quite offensive and "regulatory" in tone.....and there are several of us that take great offense when we are TOLD by a "visitor" in our "home", what WE are going to be "graciously permitted" to say, especially when such guidelines are NOT warranted. I think we still are allowed to speak respectfully, in spite of those who think they are so important, they can contol that too! There really are several of us that could give you a clear, undeniable example of what WE consider a public admonishment, and I can assure you, you would KNOW you had been admonished!!!. Bless your heart, play nice until someone REALLY gives you reason to throw a temper tantrum. |
