Look at what we be missing if everyone was stifled from expressing their humor. There are very witty people in the forum, and it makes reading the forum enjoyable.
OP, I did understand that you were referring to contradictory guidelines from each MSC because I had just written a report and had to look up if this was a report required Name vs They vs Job Title vs Him/Her. So, I got it at first, but then wasn't sure by the end. If you're being lighthearted, use emoticons to help us understand your tone, otherwise the tendency is to take posts at face value.
There's no need to stop posting. So,one post didn't hit a bulls eye. So what? "
Don't stop. Write more.
Thank you for not being snarky nor personal nor pretentious. Your response to my post is much appreciated as it gives me some specific and objective feedback, rather than some middle school response. My post was exactly that, a list of contradictory guidelines, with some humor thrown it. It's clear, after 19 years, that I would know why and when children, for example, would be or would not be allowed on a shop. That was just one example of all the nuances of the various guidelines thrown our way. Hence, why the title, "Multiple personalities." And, I do not hide behind a "screen name" as some do. I think about what my words will mean to someone reading them, and that's why I do not post snarky comments in response to other's posts. I'm not paranoid, as I've actually had two males approach me with much aggression and asked why I was taking pictures - I was using my good camera, not my cell phone...with a zoom lens, because the company wanted detailed pictures not obtainable with a simple cell phone. One drove after me as I left the premises. I was by myself in an unsightly neighborhood. That's not paranoia, that's the reality. And, yet, the company wanted me to go BACK and take even more pictures at night. Even if it were a list of grievances, there is no need for some of the snide comments made. No back peddling - just clarification on my part b/c it was clear some wanted to toss around negativity, and I'm just not down with personal attacks right now. Those comments are the types of remarks that make people leery of posting (re: the negativity post). Just as some did not get my "jokes", I did not get yours, because I don't think they were jokes...they were futile attempts at trying to lift yourself up at the expense of putting someone down. Continue to throw up, diagnose my posts, and have a good chuckle. As we say in the south, "Bless your hearts."
And just like dust, I will rise.
