The only problems I have encountered here are when posters will misinterpret what another poster is saying. Like your problem with reading one of the posts. No one knew you had a problem as you explained, but you were jumped on right away.
We all need to remember that what we are trying to say in written words does not always come across the way it was intended.
I welcome your input here.
If we choose to be offended, we will be. Our problem, not your's.

Thanks for your welcome.
Unfortunately, it becomes my problem when someone doesn't like what I've said, and interprets their dislike as me violating the rules. Then I'll get smacked by the moderators.
Thanks,
K

I bet it would've sprayed the candy right out. You should've let it happen in case it's stuck in there.

Since your comments refer to me, I'd like to take a moment to respond.
AE was not “jumped” on at all. He wrote a rude post, and I immediately responded, telling him so. There was nothing wrong with that, because it was the truth, given the information he had provided up to that moment.
If he had taken the time, in that post, to explain his readability problem, (which was his responsibility, not mine), then of course it would have put everything in its proper context. But he did not, and thus the misunderstanding.

I don't think that I could totally agree with this. I love the idea of giving someone the benefit of the doubt.....but sometimes such jumping is warranted. What I mean is that each poster is responsible for their posts.

I thought I did... just not to the excruciating (and, in my mind, a bit embarrassing) detail that you seem to have needed.
I said it was difficult to get through the post, did I not?
Rudeness is really kinda subjective, don't you think? Which is most rude...
A-- Me saying I was strong in getting through a post I had difficulty with, or
B-- you jumping on me, which forced me into a situation of having to reveal what might very well be a reading disability?
Benefit of the doubt is a good thing.
