heather, I hope you don't decide that this isn't the place for you...you are a valuable contributor to this forum, and your presence would be missed.

I don't think it matters where you go, there is always a risk when you express an opinion, that others will disagree with that opinion. I think everyone here tries to be as supportive as possible, but even here, there will be disagreements.

As I read through this thread, I think it is clear that some people took your comment to mean more than you intended...after all, you were not commenting on posts with one or two typos. But I also think some people expressed a concern that worrying about their typing or spelling might deter some people who really need help from posting. I think I know you well enough to know that you would never want to discourage other people from seeking help here.

Anyway, what I am trying, ever so awkwardly, to say, is that you should absolutely feel free to express your opinions here...unfortunately, here, as anywhere else, there will occasionally be misunderstandings, and your words may not come across to others as you truly meant them. But I certainly hope that any disagreements will be expressed with respect.

So, please stay with us, and please keep expressing yourself freely.

*hugs*
