only a couple of days in and I managed to upset someone, but it was a misunderstang honest devil I was being slightly humourous, commenting on some profile info given and well my humour was lost in the cultural language differences lol Happily we mananged to get past that and after an IM conversation we agreed to meet up sometime, so no offence was taken phew .. I'm sure I will do a much better job of upsetting them in person yay j/k of course wink

It is so easy to upset anyone.... since we are not face to face, or speak the exact same lingo, people are going to get upset.

You are doing good...... took me about 2 weeks.... damn, I must be slowing down in my ole age. grin

Welcome to the group. Pull up a chair, sit down, and have fun.

I try not to upset anyone but sometimes no matter what my good intentions may be someone manages to get their feathers fluffed.
