As far as tolerance, yes, of all people Taylor should understand tolerance as more than a fair share has been given her here at YT. We're asking that she also give that to others in return.



Like you, I also don't understand what you notice in the first paragraph here. You either get subtleties or you don't, but you can't really have it both ways.

I should also note, as far as illnesses that people have here at YT -- it is *not* YT's responsibility or goal to keep track of and make exceptions as a result of a known or unknown, diagnosed or undiagnosed illness. People need to behave decently here no matter what, period. We won't make exceptions for that.

I'm not sure I understand the comments to Cathy's post? Are you saying I'm lying? I'm not an idiot I do try to learn how I'm supposed to do things and what is expect of people but the more tired I get the less I am good at doing what I am "supposed" to do. I don't lie and am not lying I swear to that. I have even said I get it I messed up it was just what came out of my mouth and I was unable to see it has a big deal or really a problem. After the comments and having time to think about it and hear and see ways I could have done it I get it. It's just some times the best way to help me is to not get me so defensive because then I shut down. I don't expect special rules or to get away with everything. Sometimes I just need like a ramp a mental ramp. I'm not trying to just make excuses I am just trying to explain it because I'm not an evil person.
