Personally I think there are many ways to word things and get our point across without coming across as rude or uncaring. Yes we all have our own way of posting and yes we all interpret the written word differently. Even when raising my children I tried to speak to them in a calm manner and get my point across to them. On the occasions when I would be at the boiling point and say things to them in a loud, or what they perceived to be a rude manner, I could literally see them blocking me out. All that did was make them upset and angry and me more angry. I also try to do that with everyone else. Am I perfect? Absolutely not I am human and have to apologize for a lot of things I say and do in life and here. For instance, when I use the words (I was raised to) I am speaking of how I was raised and not how you or anyone else was, be it good or bad. So if those words did offend anyone here then I do apologize because they were never intended to say you had bad raising. |
