People, the point of these forums is that we should be able to express ourselves. So, let's stop being sensitive and realize that there are all kinds of people in this world. Some are nice and some are not so nice and when the not so nice people express themselves it comes out sounding like an attact. We should not take is personally and remember "If you can't beat 'em join 'em"!

I know I'm guilty of sometimes coming across too strong. I try to write my posts differently, but it is really hard to see my expressions or know the tone of voice. I always worry that others feel attacked when it is entirely not that way.

The ills of message boards.

Sweetie, I think it was an attack on (almost) every Jewish mother.

You can disagree but there's a way of wording things. You're not talking to your sisters here, people don't know you and you have to take that into consideration. Take a few seconds and be a little thoughtful, use the preview option and you'll save yourself alot of embarassment and momentary insanity. I know, I've been guilty of these things myself.

No one says you have to agree with everything on this site... thats the beauty of this site you can write your opinions and give advice... but theres a way of writing things that is still respectful to the poster and others who have responded....Language is a tricky thing and sometimes when writing it might come off a different way then you intended. Just preview everything you write. Like I said you dont have to agree, all opinions are welcome but be respectful about it....
