[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1144915, member: 19938"] [quoteWhy do you feel compelled to insert yourself in the disagreements that others have with CG?][/quote] Thank you for the insight Cottage Farm. It is not just CG that I feel the need to speak up for. She is the same "friend" to me as many others here are. I am very against people people being bullied, even strangers, and I will speak up in those circumstances no matter who it is. So my comments are not in defense of CG, but for all of us that get some (what I feel is) undeserved sarcasm cast our way. I can understand this and even relate it to myself. This not only comes from "the construction industry" but it also comes with age. Most of us have lost patience for those very same things that you have. And I absolutely do not have a problem with people being this way. What I do have a problem with is kicking people when they are down. Continuing to make nasty comments when they clearly are trying to move on. Making personal assessments of ones mental status publicly. Ect. (I do not feel the need to go further. You all are really smart folks and know what I mean.) There is a fine line between stating your thoughts respectfully, and with good intentions. As oppose to doing it to beat down the poster. I honestly believe that people are so accustom to seeing it here, that it no longer seems odd. There are many people that will not post on here because of this behavior by some of "the regulars". And I for one, would like to see the variety of their postings! I enjoy them. Think about it. There are thousands of members on this board and only a handful that participate on a regular basis................ What can we do to make people more comfortable to participate and share? Not any of this, that's for sure. :( I am out numbered and probably fighting a loosing battle. But I do not believe being respectful, kind, and helpful requires "sugar coating." [/QUOTE]
