never make it personal (towards another Freeper) - to avoid problems.
- - -

Thanks.

Am trying very hard to do that.

Sometimes I think I take the definition for that from what other people get away with and that's clearly a wrong place to get the definition for that.

Would you please, maybe in one sentence define very inclusively what "making it personal" would include and maybe a sentence about what it would not include?

Sorry but I can't trust the way my mind thinks about such things without very emphatically clear boundaries. I tend to construe all kinds of options where no one else would see them. Just the history of my mind. Sorry to need so much hand-holding on this issue but it's just my unique thought processes plus my history on FR that leave me feeling insecure.

Thanks tons in advance.

Here's an easy test: Any time the pronoun "you" is used, then something in that sentence is potentially personal toward the person being written to.
