Sadness
General Talk
Very, very well said heather. I agree with almost every response on here.I'm just going to put this out there...My friends and family in my personal life know me well, they know my sense of humor (I can be super serious and sarcastic)If I were to write on a forum of strangers exactly how I would respond normally, in text only, without the benefit of facial or emotional expression, I suspect I'd alienate most of you, which is not something I want.When I'm sitting at my computer, I have a chance to formulate statements and responses that I HOPE never sound aggressive, discriminatory, negative, or insulting. That's not what I want to promote.I'm not saying every post and statement should be dripping-in-sugar sweet, far from it. We owe each other honesty. But when one has a chance to think about what they're going to say, not being eye-to-eye with whoever is receiving it should have nothing to do with the level of animosity in whatever is being said. Have I made any sense?
