@AprilLove: Hiya girl and welcome back! Well, I dont think the dunce cap is meant to have us adults scared and trembling lol But, it is in place so that people learn to respect the rules and each other. Fear and respect are two different things that people often times get confused. Anyway, what youre asking people to do, you must be willing to do as well. We're all adults here :) Being confrontational in speech and provoking can be just as problematic. So everyone has to make an effort here. Great to see you though and Im glad you came back. I was hoping you would. Youre pretty cool when youre cool lol ;)

Thank you Dawn.

& Thanks JustMe but What I was talking about is hoe everyone takes people the wrong way, Ive said it before, you cant hear a tone in someones voice so its hard to tell how somethings are meant to be taken. And then a person is quickly judged & that here is my problem with this site.

Yes, I understand completely April. This is why I personally dont just report at the drop of a hat during discussions (unless it's obviously a problem like nudity etc). I think we just have to pay more active attention. When someone says, hey, that's offensive...it's just out of respect to pay it some attention. It may not be meant the way it is stated and people say lots of things without thinking them through. But when there is feedback and it is being made clear that it could even be offensive particularly to them then it's worth the extra effort to try to learn a better way of communicating. We're human and have been given this ability to interpret, decipher, associate.

Your welcome April! Just keep on being you and when someone can't accept you for who you are then take a min to evaluate if there is any merit in their attitude, if you find some adjust yours, if you don't dismiss theirs. Just some advice from an ole dino on here :^)
