I hope that if I had worded things perfectly, and the content was the same, that I would not have been blocked and you would have just redirected my post to this board.

> MorganThe above is the part that scares me ... wording it perfectly. I have learned that wording phrases perfectly on this site is near impossible. I feel that no matter what I write that it could be taken the wrong way. Two or three words in a post could be misconstrued and "BAM" you are gone.
Sometimes it is not possible to re-word something without losing the meaning and the passion you want you your post to have. Even punctuation can give a sentence different meaning. I correct English/Communication papers all week for an undergraduate program as well as their final exams. I am always tempted to replace some of their words because it is grammatically correct. But I have to be careful because sometimes by changing one word, I can change the idea they were trying to get across. It's not easy.
