Thanks for posting this reply, lolagrace. I did state that I didn't know OP nor any previous posts of OP.

Of course there will be members who have backgrounds with another member. I'm not saying it is wrong to disagree or dislike someone, I just felt while reading some posts that they should have been expressed in a private manner is all.

I don't like fussing, Finnicky. I detest discord. I still believe my mom was right when she taught me that "If you can't say anything positive, don't say anything at all" is appropriate to apply to public threads. Negative sentiments should be conveyed privately and directly between members IMO. I'd prefer not get involved in those things. I was reading a thread so there was no way for me to avoid it.

My mom's words to me were what I intended others to contemplate and digest. I think they should apply in public threads.

Again, thanks for both your responses. My purpose was to enhance harmony but I won't preach my mom's wise words where I shouldn't again. I'll just practice that wisdom by myself, hey?

FYI, my mom is nearly 90 yrs old, and the short phrases of wisdom she has shared over the years has become more appreciated by me as I have aged. She has lots of good old sayings that have served me well. One of my favorites is "You aren't better than anyone else, but you are just as good!"I don't think I would have any self confidence without those words to rely upon.
