I've Had Enough.

Awww, I'm sorry Jess. Your comment did not seem the slightest rude to me, but perhaps Kay thought it was offensive somehow. I'm sure she is extremely upset because she has just lost Kiara and I'm sure she didn't mean it. Don't leave or give up giving advice. (((Hugs)))

I, too, have noticed the increased bashing of PT members. I guess this is just a stressfull time for PT.

Ps: Jess, if you need anyone to talk to, feel free to PM me.

I know you dont like me at all, but why would you quote things from other posts to single people out? Why didnt you pm these people if you were hurt? Instead of making it public..thats why there is such thing as pm-ing. I think calling someone snappy when they are upset and stressed and going through a terrible time is rude . How other people dont find it offensive I dont know but it is.

I think what you said was thoughtful and nice.

And everyone should just let it go....

I hope everyone just calms down. Until you have proof to the contrary, ASSUME that a person is innocent of any wrong doing. Assume that the comments are made with genuine care and concern. Know that human beings under stress aren't always tactful. Sometimes we don't realize how we come across. Saying that someone is snappy or sounds stressed, is not a rude comment (in my opinion). It shows concern. And finally, if a person is so sensitive that they interpret various comments as negative, then message boards and chat rooms are not the place for you.

I have to agree with BC_Mom on this one, I have NEVER seen one single even remotly rude post from her but she is constantly being attacked, it astounds me how many posts I see accusing her of being extremly rude when reality check? nearly every post exept hers is rude, it drives me nuts.

I am with you on that. It has happened to lots of people here that are my friends and they weren't being rude at all. they were being poliete just get attacked by it.

Jessica hope you feel better and you can pm me anytime to talk things through or vent i'm here for you.

I'm going to completely ignore and block out what you just said, Kay. Keep you and your dog out of my issues? What in the WORLD are you talking about?!

Thank you very much, Cali.. I highly respect you.

I interpreted "snappy" as "ready to snap", when your nerves get bad.

"Snappy" can also mean saying things without thinking, or getting angry suddenly and "snapping" at someone by the way you speak.

BOTH come from very stressful situations.

Remember - PT has a lot of people, and a lot of age differences. What one word means to someone from one age group can mean something TOTALLY different to another one.

Heck - when I was younger, it was not cool to be a "Geek". Now computer experts have that work in their names and advertising!

One last thing - deep breath, friends - there are three sides to every situation: The way you see it, the way the other person sees it, and the wa it really is.

GROUP HUG!

I have closed this thread. Everyone take a deep breath and go pet a pet.
