(10,502 posts)Many of us have responded with things we would like to take back after reflection. Also, feelings sometimes get hurt in vigorous discussions, but we also learn things from others with different or opposing points of view. To come to a site like this and post is to expect contrary responses, even snarky crap that is a real buzz kill, but people need to have a thicker skin when discussing politics, especially during the silly seasons.
I have been guilty of going overboard every once in a long while, but it's usually when I fail to calm before shooting off a response. If I do give me a chance to retract or rephrase before you sick the dogs on me and I will try to be objective and respectful when I check what I first wrote. If I stand by my comment then alert if you must, but please give me and others a chance. I have never alerted ANYONE. Not sure if I have blocked anyone, but I don't think so. I have grown up for the most part and try to follow the Golden Rule I learned in kindergarten.
I like Mr. Pitts posts, though I may not always agree with him. He writes well and always makes me think. Hope he comes back soon!
