I believe you. However, not meaning to and even posting a caution that some may be offended does not negate the rules.

> I right off the bat get the "Ohhhhh, what do you think you're better than 'most people'?!?!?" If I do, what's wrong with that?There is no problem with thinking you are better than anyone else right up to the point of putting down others. I believe our individual rights extend only as far as others' begin.
>But I was just venting bottled up thoughts on this board, it's not a reflection of things I go around saying to just anyone. Just venting frustrations.
Venting can be a useful thing to do, but we do not have the freedom to say whatever we wish here.

> I am sorry if I broke the rules of the board, I will be more careful next time.Thank you. Please feel free to ask a deputy for feedback before posting if you are unsure of something. Some posters also use a "civility buddy" for guidance.
Take care,
