Oooh Babs, who slapped your wrist and how very date they! grin

😂 was nothing this old trout can’t take but made me think.

I know it’s wrong, but sometimes certain comments can trigger people, like me, and we respond in haste.

I have been guilty of that too but I am trying to step back a bit before taking the proverbial bull by the horns.

Have not been on this site for long but have already noticed that members sometimes like to do a spot of wrist slapping with regard to certain comments. The thing is we all have our own opinions and like to voice them but one person's opinion isn't any better or worse than the next person's. And cheap digs or insults are a sign of someone who cannot think of anything constructive or intelligent to say.
And if someone posts something others think is trivial but the poster finds upsetting don't just dismiss this, is not for us to dictate how a person should feel.
I am probably as guilty as others of indulging in some of the above but after having my wrist slapped today took a long hard look at how I respond.
