Wow.....It's just something I do :(,
I am sorry if you read it that way, none of my posts have been condescending, just stating that being under consideration can work or I kinda thought that's what I was doing.
I hope that gives others hope too, if you misunderstand me I do apologize but it was never intended.
I never realized some people on the forums were so aggressive, maybe trying to help isn't a good idea.
Some of the smilies are creepy too, I use an emote instead...and have on many forums, most never thought anything of it, myself included...kind of shocked at the replies really, I'd have thought it someone didn't like how I responded or if maybe I was doing something that may appear mean they would have the courtesy of IM'ing me.
Saying someone looks like a idiot or stupid because of a few words on their profile isn't nice either, I don't care what people have on their profiles, everyone's entitled to do it their way, whatever works for them.

You know what else isn't nice? Wrapping your bullshit insults in smiles and fake niceties. Either have the guts to say it straight out, or don't even bother.
Since you've quoted it, I've gotta assume you read the same post I just did.... So the gist of your reply here is that a new poster needs to demonstrate the same crude, aggressive and cliquey style as you just have, or not at all?
BeautyDebased, no-one likes a "smiling assassin" - it makes you appear sociopathic (and creepy). If you're gonna confront a stranger(?) as you did initially with sirsholly, then put yourself in a r/l situation and ask yourself if you'd be smiling at the time. Me. I don't mind a smiling assassin in r/l, because one has fair and reasonable opportunity to reply with a "Liverpool kiss".... Such is how it provokes.
Overall, I'd say thicken your skin a tad, that people will jump at a chance to get offended, esp when they have a point. I thought your "smile" was a nervous afterthought to take the edge off your words rather than overt condescension. But it made you an easy target for a (small) "feeding frenzy" - and the above post is how cowardly mob-rule tends to degenerate.

Thankyou for the explanation,
In rl I'm really shy and I am shy here too, which is why I have lurked for so long before trying to add anything.
It's not always easy to get emotion across in a forum and I really didn't know some things online were taken so seriously, it's a forum and I guess I took it as seriously as that, no more.
I saw someone critisize a way some people do things and I responded to that since I considered it to be rude, I never swore, I wasn't overly rude, just trying to make a point....I think the reaction I got in return was way over the top for what was said and it shocked me really, at the end of the day it was one small comment, nothing more, no sinister motive or thought behind it or the "smiles".
Anyway, water under the bridge for me, I don't hold onto things like this, I just move on and hope everyone else will too.
Beauty.
