I'm glad you've decided to stay and that whatever problem existed has been ironed out.
I just want to point out something that everyone should keep in mind: not everyone who posts here, even when they're being sarcastic or snarky, means anything PERSONAL by it.
About half of the time, when I respond to a post, I don't pay any attention to who made the initial post. That's because I have a hard time remembering real names and/or faces with all of the usernames here. So when I respond, I respond more to what is said, not WHO said it.
It's easy to read something negative into a response when NOTHING negative was intended. Sometimes it DOES get personal. But sometimes, the responder had no intention of making it personal and it's just that whatever they wrote got interpreted that way.
I try to include remarks like, "With all due respect" or "I don't mean to criticize, but" in my posts. But I don't always, and I hope that most people who've been around here for a while and have read discussions I've been part of would assume that this is an automatic with me.
I say all this to just point out that as much as we should try to keep in mind that what we type out can sometimes be subject to misinterpretation, we should also be quick to assume that the way WE interpret someone else's words could be wrong, too.
Let's be careful out there.
