The reality is that some people perceive words as insulting when indeed, they were not intended to be. It really is, in large part, a matter of perception. Very rarely do I post something with the intent of being mean or hurtful. However it has often been perceived as such. Hense the "if you can't take the heat....." Occasionally I am quite certain some post with barbed intent towards me. I have a choice, allow it to upset me and post accordingly or, either turn it into a positive or ignore it and forget about it. Which I choose depends upon whether any part of it is valuable enough to turn into a positive or not. Quite often I consider the source and ignore it. It is all up to me. Another thing, the most annoyingly arrogant assholes here have taught me alot. Either because I took the effort to look past the intial assholeness (a LeeAnnism) OR, I saw it and thought "Damn, I sure don't want to be like that!!" The day I allow ANYONE here to upset me or cause me to lose my cool is the day I need to step awayyyy from the computer, and pull my head out of my ass.
