Happens a lot. I imagine the majority of time, it is not on purpose. I try not to take offense (or give it)... the written word is just such a confusing way to communicate. We are missing the cues from body language etc. It doesn't help if people skim instead of fully read too. Did it happen here? Eric |

I find it infuriating and down right rude....... To the point where I've posted..." ok I'll just butt out" --- End quote --- Yeah, that's happened to me. I think I've done it to other people as well. I can assure you that, if I have, it is entirely accidental & no malice intended. |

I find that there is a great deal of cameraderie on here even tho' there's a lot of p*ss taking thats meant in the best possible taste :lol: ...and I think thats perhaps that some of us know each other personally having met at various exhibitions... |

I don't mind it actually. Quite often I find that the same thing said two or three different ways teaches me something I would otherwise have missed, or promotes a thought process that leads me to something else just as productive. Not worth getting upset about - life's too short. |
