Are you often offended by certain DUer's posts?

Do not name names of course. There is one DUer that says outrageous things that makes me lose respect for him/her.

11. No not at all. No one knows who I am talking about.

Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 02:28 PM by Shell Beau

I just wanted to open a discussion about how people can get offended when you can't hear what someone else is trying to say. By reading posts, we can misconstrue what they mean. And we know that disruptors like to piss us off and all!

44. Naw...not at all

I like when you tell me what you think rather than letting my occasional "lapse of poor judgment" slide. You don't "attack" me and I always respect what you have to say.
Now on the other hand..LOL, I bet I have said some things that have gotten you a bit angry. johnnie-->:spank:<-----Misunderestimator

48. It's hard to write on here sometimes

I am a cynic and have a dry sense of humor sometimes and in person I don't come off as much as an asshole. I try to type in a humorous way, but sometimes it doesn't come thru like it should.
I don't piss off anyone in "real life", it only happens on here. Go figure.

Yeah, there's a few like that.

And sometimes, just when you finally get used to it, they're gone. You realize you weren't the only one who felt that way.

Kidding. I really am not offended by one person's posts but some of the things, especially in GD, I just can't understand.

34. I try not to hold a grudge. But when the same person seems

to be the one starting crap, then the grudge kind of starts to take shape. I hope I don't piss people off too much. I think I pissed Skinner off yesterday b/c I was so bad!! Whoops!! I am on my best behavior today. A real angel. O8)

41. I haven't been offended once

I disagree with some things people say, but that is normal. There is no one here that I have on ignore or that I won't read their posts.
Now, I'm sure I have said some things that offended other people, but that's their trip...I don't set out to piss anyone off.

42. Disagreements can be very healthy.

I know we don't all see things the same way. I mean it seems they always try to get something stirred up. Kind of "disrupting" if you catch my drift.

43. Yes and no.

Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 02:39 PM by redqueen

I do my best to keep my irritation in check. As long as rules aren't broken, I chalk it up to a matter of opinion and move along.

For that reason, I don't lose respect for them. I appreciate the things we have in common and try to focus on that. No matter our disagreements, I still love pretty much everyone here.

edit to add that my definition of "move along" means argue like the devil, but don't alert or ignore. :)

52. Only offended once (that I can remember).

I have found both here and elsewhere that 'English humour' doesn't always transfer down the internet cable very well. To counter that I assume that when people post the same thing can easily happen in reverse - and I try to make myself more clear.

For the record folk should take most things I say with a very large and humourous pinch of salt (though don't eat it, high sodium diets are really bad for you).
