    I personally think that some people tend to post negatively because they have a veil of anonymity. It's like they have an attitude of: "who cares - I'm never going to meet this person face to face - so it doesn't matter what I say or what they think". That doesn't make it right tho.

    And I've seen plenty of negative, rude, ignorant, remarks in other areas too - not just in the DH. A differing opinion, no matter where it is, seems to bring out the worst in some people.



    And btw blue - you bear an uncanny resemblance to my first born. It's okay tho - I won't hold that against you!

    I recall back in the CB radio boon you had the same mentality. I thought that the same aseole followed me everywhere I traveled. They were not happy unless the were creating havoc on the air. They were always looking for a fight. I really don't understand this mindset.

    Early on, on this forum I responded to one of pomtzu's post in a belittling way. Medusa, a class act, called me on my statement and I ended up apologizing for my post. Since then Ellie has become one of my PT friends. I learned from my insensitive statement that it is better to way carefully what you post, because unthinking responses can hurt.

    Thanks Bill - I value your friendship - even tho it did get off on the wrong foot. I may also have been overly sensitive (or pms'ing even tho I'm way past that), that day, and blown it out of proportion in my mind. I've since learned to tone it down too.

    Puckstop and I went head to head once quite a while back - and I actually like him now too.

    Thanx for the kind words, Bill, although if you could see me in my sweats and no makeup, you may change your mind about calling me a class act. Seriously though, it takes a big person to be able to say "I'm sorry" and/or "I was wrong".
    Blessings,
    Mary

    I miss the days of my mobile CB. Ild love to get a Galaxy or a General Lee in my ZJ or get my pogo stick and base set up here at the house. Due to the terrain the local offroad crowd is getting into VHF and a repeater setup, so Im looking into that as well.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!
