I am hoping we can all be a bit more tolerant of everybody's short comings. I know I have my share, as I am sure everybody else does too.

Words don't bother me but I agree with Rap in that they can sometimes bother others. Perhaps we can reach a happy medium...those who use the words could stop and consider others and those who read the posts could take the emotions into consideration.

I like the stop and think approach. If a post angers me I try and not respond either at all or at least right away.
Sometimes I have to stop and remember it is not always about me.

Thank you for the post.
