Have You Ever Hurt Someone on a Forum?
I abhor hurting people! Someone sent me a very nice PM today and I realize now I was a bit too flippant with my response and may have hurt a person that I really care about.
 It happened once before with my Son but thank God he forgave me! I seem to do that the same time every year. This time it was not my son but, as I said, someone else that I care about. Would the person please respond to my PM and forgive me? Last edited by Luba : 05-02-2008 at 08:01 PM. |

Re: Have You Ever Hurt Someone on a Forum?
I can be abrasive at times. Usually when I am in a foul mood (and honestly the bi-polar is not helping either). In general I try to censor my posts to avoid hurting people.
But it has happened.

Re: Have You Ever Hurt Someone on a Forum?
Yes, I have.
The written word is sometimes misconstrued or over analyzed. With cultural differences, unique humor added with no voice tone or facial expressions; it is sometimes very hard to convey a message. Some topics of discussion are hard for all of us at times. A person's mood can have a huge impact on someone's response as well as how they read the line(s) of text. Luba, you are a very caring person. Like PepsiChic said, they probably know that.

Re: Have You Ever Hurt Someone on a Forum?
I agree with IvyRose. It is so hard to convey your true feelings and the intent behind the words without the facial and voice cues. One of the reasons I like the smilies. And a person's mood does have a big impact on how they interpret what you say. Don't worry too much Luba.

Re: Have You Ever Hurt Someone on a Forum?
I just LOVE you beautiful, beautiful people!
 If you saw me right this moment you would laugh! It's 4:48 a.m. (everybody knows I'm a very early morning person) and my hair isn't combed, I'm in a nightgown with my bunny slippers on my feet. My facial expression holds a huge smile and my heart is filled with love for you who responded so kindly! There, indeed, is Sunshine in my heart, as I chatted with TKDLady in the Chatroom. |
