22. I don't happen to think calling me, my ideas, my life, or anything
else about me 'crap' is me doing anything. It is someone else.
It is also very offensive.
It is also offensive when someone tries to be helpful, in their way, not in your way, and it is thrown up in their face.
If you don't like my post, fine and dandy. And if it doesn't help you, the same.
But where does that justify telling me you know what you're talking about, and I don't, and that other language.
It seems to me that someone should take a step back before they throw things up to others, who set out to help.
Would it be nice if this humility and compassion were shown to me? Or is that only a one way street?
I think there is someone who should have been done with me BEFORE they posted. Not after, but then it all wouldn't sound so self-righteous, would it.
I thought this was supposed to be a group to help and support each other, not judge and condemn others.
PS While your analysis of me may be correct, or may be based on some specific in depth knowledge, how is it meant to help me? Is it meant to help you?
One thing overlooked here, is that my post may have benefit to me. If there is any side benefit to anyone else here is something I do not control any more than anyone else posting here can control in their posts.
It is only offered in a spirit, and not a spirit of thinking someone will snap back with 'shut up'.
