Boot strap girl, rugged indivdualist......i.e., came from the bottom, raised myself, have achieved my dreams, align myself with no creed but live as an individual..
I didn't use the word friend....not aligning myself with or not with anyone...I just think it may be wise to not talk about people because you may be offending anyone....you don't know who or what I like...and it is just not diplomatic to assume it is okay to talk about people, anyone, in a negative way....and using inflamatory language like 'soiling the name' what does that achieve....
Please get the point: please don't mention people's names unless you have something positive to say....at the very least, it is against the forum rules....behave in the way you would want your children to behave, in the way you would want them to see you behave....
Maybe gossiping isn't the right word...but it isn't nice to mention someone's name and say something about them that isn't positive or could be construed as not positive. Whatever, I would not like to have my name mentioned in the forums unless is was for someone to address me by name or to say something nice or friendly....otherwise, I would feel it was being talked about,etc. Think about how you would feel if the comment you made about someone else had your name inserted into it instead of his....wouldn't feel very nice would it, true or not true...and truth is relative anyway.
Marikin...you do have a right to your opinion...but I do think that making personal comments about an indivdual in this way is not appropriate....if you want to tell kid something about someone, do it in a email...and btw,though I don't always agree with everyone, or their methods, I do like the person you are talking about and am personally offended that you are gossiping here about him...please don't...thanx
I didn't think you were attacking anyone, but making a general, and wise, observation....about people and their behavior in general....
Absolutely true, people can assume you are referring to them because they have a sense of guilt about their behavior...then there are others who don't get it at all...oblivious...
The origin of the problem is that people seem to need to be confrontational when communicating with one another when they disagree....such behavior includes all of us: you, me, and all the others......another thing to think about is self-righteousness....think about it...
