On this board I have noticed that people take things way too personal, I will admit I on occasion have taken a post to heart, but we have to realize this is the internet. I often wonder how one survives in day to day life if they allow cyber people to get to them.

This is supposed to be fun and a departure from our so called 'real lives'

I had to get that out

I think this is one of the major reasons for arguments/misunderstandings over the internet. I myself can be very sarcastic so I need to choose my words carefully when online

I think that is the problem. There are many times I have had to re-write things so no one gets offended. It is not that I am afraid of being brutally honest(lord knows I am good at that) but if I am not trying to hurt anyone's feelings then I think it is worth looking over what I wrote before posting. I think people are sometimes a bit irresponsible and forget that people are 'reading' this and they way you definely cannot be the way you type. It is a respect and consideration issue.
