ORIGINAL: SardonicAss Who is more guilty of attack? One who maybe could have worded a question better or the masses who jump to defense mode and attack her without first knowing (or even *gasp* asking) what her intent was? People will react when they feel like they have been slighted. It's a common reaction, however she didn't once say she was being taken out of context. i addressed this myself (i'll admit it was in a sarcastic manner): quote:
ORIGINAL: SubinMaine It's my opinion (and it's ONLY an opinion) that no one was offended by the original question at all. And it would seem that a simple "Gee, i'm sorry i offended anyone, maybe my comment could have been worded a bit better" would have been a bit more appropriate than the "fluff it off as my knowing this would be the reaction from certain posters that want to follow me around so i feel my actions are justified due to my "predictions" about these posters." Then THIS is posted: quote:
ORIGINAL: petal7 As for my "prediction" - yes. The reason it's amusing to me is that I rarely post anything . . . but the one time I asked in a post basically why we had to target individuals in our answers rather than actually trying to help (i.e. can't we all just get along), I was accused of being judgemental. Well, that's okay too . . . if someone feels judged by the words of a complete stranger, there is little I can do about that. I won't apologize for the way my message was taken. I tried that and I was flamed again so that tactic doesn't work here. Basically, she feels the second question wasn't rude at all, while MANY posters feel it WAS...You, obviously, know her quite well and that would give you a greater insight to how her motivations run. That being said, remove Yourself from the situation for a moment and view the second question in the original post, then her second post and her final post from the eyes of someone who DOESN'T know her, do you still find it not rude?
