Huh sorry I'm New here just noticed a post and figured it was open to reply. I've seen nothing but attacks on ones own emotions concerning a touchy subject matter.
All posts ARE open to reply.
However, the problem is that you replied as if I was arguing with something you said, and I wasn't.
You said to me "I didnt' say it like that".
But in my own post I wasn't referring to ANYTHING you said.
I wasn't addressing you at all.
I couldn't be accusing you, or disparaging you, because I was neither talking TO you or ABOUT you.
My post had nothing to do with you.
I think you would have easily understood this if you weren't already upset by the whole debate.
To be fair, we all do this kind of thing at times... and we all need to do better.
This is the kind of misunderstanding that happens in debate, when we let our emotions take off without us.
In a debate forum, we all need to slow down, take a deep breath, and relax.
The more strident and touchy the debate, the more carefully we need to read, and address, the other side.
If we ARE going to debate, we need to START by listening to the other side, so we know what we're actually arguing about.
And we can ALL do better.
Welcome to CC.
I'm glad you're here.
I sincerely hope you enjoy your time here, and make a lot of new friends.
But if you want to join in the debates here, it's a good idea to read the posts CAREFULLY...
or someone a lot less polite than me is going to twist you up like a salted pretzel.
