Before I say something negative (as defined by me, may not seem negative to the other but if I "intend" negative) to another person I use my imagination and think, "What if I'm wrong and they're right?" That usually puts me in the other person's shoes well enough from my own perspective that I stop and "shrug." If I don't care for someone's posts then I figure I can "not care" enough to not bother replying :-) The other person doesn't really know me, we're not friends, what difference does it make in my own life what they think (not like I can change them and what they think anyway). I'm sure there are scads of people in the real world who don't think like I do (No, Perna, say it ain't so! :-)
