4Salt,

The problem as I see it, for whatever it is worth to you; is that you come on way to strongly to others when they may disagree with either their post or their opinion! Do we (yes that's me too) also do that? Yes, but nowhere near as offend or as much as you have been doing.

Disagreement is something that we all have to live and deal with daily. That is what makes change! But in doing so, we do not have to keep knocking other board members because they do not agree with our own opinion. You appear to be really good at writing, but not so good at knowing when you have overstepped your own voice or choice of words. Attack words are not always the "best ones" to use to prove a point.

A good debate of what we/or you conceive are the real "facts" is healthy, and it does not "ruffle" everybody's feathers either! You just need to learn NOT TO go on the "attack" mod whenever you disagree with others. Sometimes the "smartest" remark in a post is not as "smart" to others as it may be seem to be to the person who is making it!

I have been called to the line on several of my replies and I do not take offence to it. It's been a growing process in my life. Today, for a way overdue change, I took it off and went fishing for the first times in many weeks. It was great! May I suggest that you do the same, and take a day or two off and relax!

I guess we just all need to take a few minutes before we reply and think about what we are saying to each other before we print it!

No offence intended,
