I love your name too. So earthy. Right up my alley.
And you don't have to read ANY post you don't want to. If I find something offensive, I try to just close it right then and there. If I'm up to it, I will calmly tell the person I'm sorry I incited such a negative response from them, and certainly didn't intend it. They will either accept that or not. Mostly they do though and realize it was a misunderstanding.
Not that I'm miss perfect, I lose my cool just like everyone else. That's why we get warnings here instead of immediate blocks. Sometimes you just don't realize how something you said really sounded.
I got PBC'd once. It was obviously a joke and me being my normal idiotic self, and even the guy it was directed toward took up for me saying the same. But all the same, as soon as I said it, I was like, ooh, that wasn't good. How am I to know if that person, or someone else reading would not be offended? They don't know me, or that I would never intentionally hurt anyone.
Well, there I go again babbling like an idiot, I guess I'm in a preachy mood tonight. And I'm too tire to finish what I've started. I guess I better go to bed.
