Rather then take up space here.. if responders could send me a private message I would appreciate it.
I am curious to find out if my postings on this forum are coming across to others as rude and or attacking. Please advise, because if they are I need to reconsider my wording in my future postings.
Thanks,
Peace123

Not to me. Being older, I have a thick skin though.

I cut my teeth arguing with militant right wing extremists on the Saiga forum. Nobody here scares me. :coolgleam: I've never read anything of yours that was inflammatory, but then I've thick skin. I don't think you should worry.
If anything, I should be concerned about offending people. Sometimes I do it by accident just by way of my demeanor, somehow.:confused:

Nothing comes to mind...though I'm sure we've all typed something in the heat of debate that we later regretted.
The key is not to make it personal against another member. Case in point...You can think your current elected officials are lacking because of XY&Z. However, to say that I suck and am an idiot because I believe that, is where the line is crossed. Some people have trouble making valid, debatable points so they attack the person versus the issue and Stray off topic, Insult, and start the Name calling (SIN). (Acronym courtesy of Farmerboy)
I know that you asked to be PM'ed but I felt this was good for all to see. Keep up the posts and your involvement with the forum. Individuality, experiences, and unique perspectives are what makes this forum special.

I agree, Basket Weaver. We're a cluster of unique "non-conformists" here or else we'd all be sitting in a classroom somewhere instead of testing out.
Peace123, nothing comes to my mind either that is inflamatory or offensive but I'm old and have a thick skin too!
It takes a lot to get me worked up.Have a terrific day.

No you've been fine. The fact that you're conscientious about others says a lot about your character.
My rule of thumb is never say anything harsher than, "What you talkin bout Willis???"

I think you are doing fine, I cannot see anything that you have posted as being rude, or contrite.
