Miss A, I believe the concern is that the reader (perhaps someone in real pain) reads the "words" and might take them in a way that would hurt them very much. We can be flippant, and some are, while we're typing, but I try to remember that the reader might not be feeling so good when they see the post. We have to have some order here. It won't work, and people won't stay, if posters are allowed to say anything they please. xoxo pat
