First they came for the people who used no punctuation marks, and I did not speak out—
Because I used punctuation marks.

Then they came for the people who did not use paragraphs, and I did not speak out—

Then they came for the people who had run-on sentences, and I did not speak out—
Because I did not write run-on sentences.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to write for me.

2 things to learn from this thread:

• we are all a little bit hormonal with all the weight loss and changes happening in our bodies
• resisting the temptation to feel outraged can be damn hard

Love your post, Folly. I feel the same way.

Just want to say, I'm not butthurt by the OP and I accept the gift. Thank you.

LOL!

I think it is funny that since joining this forum I have been called an a_shole, a d**k, rude, and a few other names. And I have not once called anyone else a name. And what makes that even more humorous to me is that it is the people that try to appear the most supportive and compassionate to the more emotional members. However none have bothered me until this last one calling me rude.

At worst I could be called callous, but I would prefer dispassionate. The worse thing I have said was that people were getting self righteous. All that tells me is that if you aren't with those people, they will not abide you.

lol, edited to correct spelling!

I think Noah Webster was ruder.

I wonder if he had a sense of humour.

I don't think you are rude.

[BigViffer 3,544]

lol, thanks for that.

You're welcome.

I didn't take offense to what you originally posted, you offered some sound advice to people to help them create posts that will are easier to read and will potentially have more people read them due to how they are presented.

Some people may have interpreted this differently. That is the problem with reading a post vs. talking to someone and listening to their tone and watching their facial expressions.

That is why I used a "smiley face" emoticon to my previous response to you.

No one should be calling you names, there is another online forum that I no longer belong to. That is one of the reasons why I stopped posting there.

You might enjoy it for what it is and not what it was perceived to be.

Please, someone come to my husband's family Xmas and set him straight. My father-in-law's first language is redneck. Not only can he not spell, he spends the entire evening telling dirty and racist jokes to women relatives he hasn't seen in a year, from ages 13 to 70.
