There seems to have been an above average number of posts that have been misunderstood this evening.
I am sometimes left wondering if people deliberately go out of their way to be offended and if they are not offended they'll be offended on behalf of Mrs Muggins from down the road.
I'm probably no better than others at sometimes taking some comments to heart but it can be quite tricky to express a view that isn't at all targeted at anyone in particular but for some reason you have managed to drive a knife into someone's heart.
It's a tricky business this Internet forum malarkey.
Sorry, no question just a late night reflection.

Too often it's...this is my opinion and I'm right....as someone said earlier... would do us all good to walk in others shoes for a while before being so judgemental....x

I agree. sometimes I think it depends in what mood we are in. or indeed the mood of the one feeling offended. I find myself wishing to say something different to what the majority are saying, but, don't because replies can be quite caustic, then I just remember..............tis only the tinternet :)
I agree Eccles, I had two very unpleasant incidents with people either over reacting or being downright judgemental and nasty on here yesterday. I used to put up with things like that a whole lot more than I can be bothered to this time around, as I've found some people just like to be offended and patronising or to sling their weight around. Well stuff em, it says more about them than it does about me.
I think I know however to what you are referring tonight Eccles, and that's delicate, but in my eyes you did absolutely nothing that could have possibly offended anyone. You gave good sound advice. As long as you act and post with integrity then you can do no more. :) xxx
