    Do you know I think one of the problems here is the fact that we are all only able to express what we mean through one communication style ie words. that means you miss the real intent of how we say what we say and our body language. I must admit I have been the same as mussgo sometimes thinking that this site has become a bit of a lions den - having said that we have to accept that we are not able to really understand intent from the limited 'words only' The other way to look at it is that anybody who does intentionally use this site to hurt somebodies feelings is missing the whole point and thats a shame. Everybody has different views and opinions and we can at least respect that even if we dont agree with their choice of words. I personally love the site and will keep interacting because I believe the majority of people are up for helping each other not hurting them.
