Can you rephrease that? I don't understand what your saying here?
Guessing......
My reply would be that we DO for the most part try and be civil here. People here tend to be quite understanding for the most part. I think some beneficial threads to me have been ones where there is dissention, and then its worked out. Kindly, sweetly, WONDERFULLY.
We are human. And humans by their very nature will hurt each other. Purposefully or not. Its just the way we are.
Hurt happens.
Hurt done INTENTIONALLY is not so nice.
Hmmmmmm.
