I do understand the difference between the two statements. One can be seen as a generalization,
a judgement that the sole intent of the statement was to offend. The alternate wording is a personal ownership of the feeling of being offended, in other words, perhaps the statement was not meant soley to offend but someone was offended.The problem *I* have is and echo of what Gardnergirl and Kid47 have already said.
Context was completely ignored.. as usual, and it was obvious in this case what Karen meant.
Once again a supportive poster has been slapped in the face for what amounts to nothing more meaningful than
"Well I do it this way because this is the way I've decided to do it"
No one on the board is better off because Karen is not here.
I'd argue that we are worse off. So what is the point exactly??
I'm not really expecting a meaningful answer.
My former Psychiatrist who I've always respected told me he felt the way the site was run, was emotionally abusive, bordering on sociopathic.
I agree with him.
