Sometimes people are just saying things and dont realize how it comes across ...also I think reading and saying stuff on line loses some of the civility one has in normal life

that is so true about the anonymity.... I, myself, find that I say things that sometimes are just to harsh, and things I wouldn't say face to face...... it's so easy to type....

Exactly.

bareford101, It’s an easy mistake when someone posts that they think the inflections of their words will be understood the same way they hear them in their head. And without the proper inflection sometimes a sentence’s meaning can be very different than intended. So give that consideration when reading someone else’s post, or when you post.

Or you can exploit such miscommunications and other posting ambiguities to DESTROY your enemies, lol.
