what I want to know is what is it about my posts that people seem to think I am personally going after them or their viewpoint? I have made a real effort not be confrontational recently because of the plethora of gold bordered love letters... and I am trying to participate in conversations. Anyway, part of the dynamic of conversation is to interact, that means that I might be using part of (general use of...) your post to continue the stream of thought but because I have just used part of (again the general use of...) your post does not mean I am attacking you or what you have written. At this point, I am convinced that people (in general, this does not mean you, or you lurking from Elgin, PA) get way too butthurt, way too easily. Really, it's not meant for you, it's just thoughts. I admit that there will always be people who don't understand and that some seem to be deliberately obtuse at times. I admit that I have to select my wording much more carefully on these forums than other places such as work. I admit that I have learned in P&R to just not respond to some posters because they will never understand me no matter how carefully I select my words...and that's ok. I admit my own flow of gold letters dried up after I made a conscious effort to stay on topic and to use "I statements" when I feel strong emotions. I admit that I had to do some serious self-censoring before I was able to post on a particular thread recently.
