Why get personal

I would love to read and learn more about the current issues but some replies are like college lectures which I find difficult to understand. As for asking a question or giving my own simple views - well forget it !

Linda I think I've asked some very dumb questions and have received nothing but kindness and explanations I can understand. I'm a great believer in know your enemy and I have learned so much and am very grateful.

I will work on walking away in future. I'm sorry again.

It shows that you are a nice person for apologising and you should be proud of yourself for that as many people wouldn’t. 😊

Edit: I’ve found the thread I think you are talking about and I can see you’ve not got anything to apologise for, so try not to worry about it. 🥰

No such think as dumb questions, only dumb answers.

I had a great-uncle who instilled in us all the benefit of knowing your enemy, although he said " Always know what the b######s are thinking!"

I think the current situation hasn’t helped - definitely some mean spirited and spiteful people about!

Best ignored, I find.

Truth is, nobody knows the content of another posters bag, almost without exception it is likely different to yours.

Our objective should be to post with compassion and understanding, because as in day to day life, we will never 100% agree with everyone else.

Personal attacks have no place on here, remember the ‘off’ button.

Don’t apologise- you did nothing wrong. You dealt with it calmly and rationally. I think your comment was probably removed as it quoted the unacceptable, nasty post/s xxx
