I just re-read your post...you did say 'going after'...you might not have meant me, specifically. But, that was what I was responding to.

Sure, jokes can be hurtful. The truth can be hurtful. Life hurts. But, some of these posters are totally going WAY beyond what there was. I meant it as a joke. How others take it isn't really my concern. I can't control that. It isn't like I said, "wow, you are some really stupid person- ha ha, isn't that funny". The plain truth is- I meant it as a joke. As a play on the words of the thread, "is this correct or is incorrect...." . There was no sinister plot. For others to imagine there was makes me wonder what THEY really think, and are too timid to say. I have to imagine that these same posters actually live life, outside their homes, not in front of a computer, and interact with people. Surely, they have met others that don't carbon copy their view of life????
