Oh
@Anaelena, please don't take this as a 'bashing'. You post quite controversial topics so of course people will agree, disagree and get passionate about it. It's not personal, at least I've never seen anything personal in the replies to any if your threads. (But then I'm a hard skinned old bag!
)
I truely believe that without being face to face its hard to read or interpret the emotions and meanings of what is sometimes said in writing. That coupled with the forum style where people don't stop to consider the endless possible interpretations of the words, its akin to a quick fire round in a radio competition! In fact the most successful threads on the forum are the ones that have this quick response because many people enjoy the opportunity of putting their views across. Often views that for many reasons can't or aren't expressed anywhere else. So if your opinion is questioned, or disagreed with, its not 'bashing', its debate - admittedly sometimes a little near the knuckle, but still good old healthy debate. Sue xx
