my pet peeve of the day

i really hate the word "offended" because it seems to be used VERY broadly on this board, but i know that often it's simply used for for lack of a better term, so i'll let that go.

my PET PEEVE is people who put up a post, often with the best of intentions, not knowing that their post might offend others. and then, when someone points out how their post might be "offensive," instead of sitting back and thinking, ok, i don't see it that way, but i see how others could... they take offense to the comment and lash out!

although some people are more easily offended than others, if several people think a post was inappropriate, it probably was, no?

Re: my pet peeve of the day

I agree. In the event that someone was offended by my post, I would apologize for offending them, bc I doubt that was my intention, and move on. But it would be hurtful if everyone jumped in and was bashing me! (which i see sometimes) I am not one for drama , I just stay away.

Everyone has different points of view and can take things the wrong way. Although I am not easily offended, other people may be.
