I don't regret anything. And I don't have to do that.
First, this could be a true circumstance.
Secondly, these words are not mine but from somebody else.
Please respect the reality described by people's experiences and furthermore respect the truth if the these words are true.
warm regards

I have clearly to add that you are very uncivil because the word "third world" does not implicate something negative per se. As a consequence if you accuse me to be uncivil you implicate that third world countries are negative.
Please don't this personally. Think about it.
warm regards

Is this related to your feelings re your housebound beagle with psychogenic pruritus?
I was thinking perhaps a cortisone spray and launder his dog linens with hypoallergenic soap.

It may not be negative per se, but other may feel it is, and it's those feelings I'd like posters to be sensitive to. Thanks,

I don't think it's uncivil to write exactly what other people experienced. The contrary, I think it could be interesting.

Sorry about not having been around. An I-statement is a statement about the writer or an experience of theirs. Does that help?
