Smileys..Hm, the fact that a post is followed by smillies can be taken either way...as a joke
or as an insult depending on the content as a method of averting consequences should the comment be taken as not being a joke. Two seperate snipes in one sentence was a bit too much. Not everyone has the same sense of humour after all. Given that I am a male made obvious by the sign next to my avatar and then to be called a woman made me think that the content was not a lighthearted joke. Now that another has jumped at the chance to also jump on bandwagon with highlighted comments it only serves to prove to me that my thoughts were initially correct.
If I think someone may be offended I start my post now with an explanation.
That was the reason I passed the thought by you about my post that was controversial for your opinion. I do try to be fair but at the moment one particular sniper is reluctant to let the past go. Perhaps more thought should also be given by those who post as to how the post may be read with a different meaning than was intended. None of us are perfect are we? What was the intention of the highlighted text anyway? Was the included quote not enough on its own without the extra embelishment? I can take a joke as well as the next person but when it gets to be too close to the bone I rightly object. I would hope that anyone who also felt the same had just the same right too because at the moment it makes me think I am being singled out by a few. Am I?
