When people twist your words

[elle_chris]

I''m not sure who muffintop is, as I don''t remember the name of the poster I was referring to. But I didn''t mean only one thread. It''s happened a few times. The thread I mentioned was just the last one I remembered.

I do think words get twisted and agree that it''s probably because it just gets interpereted in many ways. Just saying it would be nice if posters that respond aren''t so quick to make the worst assumptions.

Hi Elle,
ok - just going from your description I am confident we are talking about the same thread, but perhaps I''ve missed a more recent one since even than

I agree with you 110% on your last point - a lot of upset and disagreement could be avoided if people choose not to immediately jump to the worst conclusions on posters'' intentions / wordings.

But on the other hand, imho, if you repeatedly *choose* to be purposefully controversial in your posts, than be prepared for what comes your way! (again, a general statement only and not directed at any particular poster I must say).

True, true. If someone''s going to make an obvious controversial post, they should be prepared for what comes their way. Hence, I don''t.
