[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 683529, member: 6705"] SWOT... I remember shortly after I stopped lurking and started posting, I had an incident with Belle and you spoke up. At that moment, I thought rather harshly... And then... I started thinking about it and realized it was a good swift kick in the rear end that I needed! You are one of the people here whose opinion I most value. And much of it is due to that kick. It wasn't judgmental at all, though I felt that at first. Because I was so very raw. TBH I also had a similar feeling with Witzend, but she's now another whose opinion I truly value. We have become a society that is easily offended and our rhino skin isn't developed (or allowed to do so). It took me a while, but mine is good enough now that I weathered an ugly estrangement from a VERY good friend (actually a couple) who also used to be online here. I miss them, but I understand. And that's the thing. Sometimes we might appear judgmental, but upon reflection, it's just a reality check. A reminder that we are all different, and to respect one another, we must give the benefit of the doubt - because we DON'T know where others are coming from. [/QUOTE]
