@Bobby Cole - you mentioned avatars, the Eagle suits you Bobby - sharp eyed, never missing a fish ...........
I had a picture of one of my cats before but if someone makes me feel bad which happened on this forum, then having my cats picture made me feel worse. So I don't want a picture of my cats anymore. My picture will be something not personal. I should probably find a better one.
Hope I didn't make you feel bad. @Kitty Carmel ...I like you, one of my favorite posters. I do say things sometimes on the spur of the moment without thinking and feel bad afterwards. I need to be more considerate sometimes.
Absolutely in no way was it you @Chrissy Cross You have always been very nice and supportive of me. It was someone else and I do admit I can be overly sensitive. Thanks for saying I'm one of your favorite posters. I can't believe I could be but I'm kind of self deprecating all the time anyway.
It's for sure if you stay on any Forum long enough...someone will end up hurting your feelings...even if they don't do it intentionally. So I hope it wasn't me that said something that hurt you @Kitty Carmel...but if I did I'm really sorry about that too. There are people on some Forums that deliberately try to cause trouble and hurt others...but I don't really find that true on this one for the most part.
That's what I love about this Forum...I don't think any of us tries to hurt someone...but sometimes it can happen even when we don't intentionally try to. Typed words sometimes say one thing to us...and a completely different thing to someone else.
As @Ken Anderson has posted on more than a couple of occasions, the inability to see facial expressions and hear the tone of voice often makes it very difficult to ascertain the actual mood of someone's writing. Even seeing a person can be misunderstood. One of my employees in Alaska came up to me one day and told me that everyone thought I was always very callous with them until she noticed that she could tell if I was serious or not by looking at my eyes. I have a somewhat sarcastic sense of humor and I have had to pay the price for just kidding around. Written or one on one, misunderstandings come in various forms and we have to genuinely examine those remarks or statements that "might" offend us in order to sort out the actual intent. Forums are filled with people who have hurt feelings by others who are just playing but are taken very seriously.
My dear Patsy Faye, after reading your posts for an extended period of time now, I believe everyone knows when you are just kidding around or deadly serious. What's more, I cannot see you writing anything bad about a cat avatar, cat lovers or cats. Perhaps it was even me because there are times when I have offered up my lack of the cuddly feeling that others get around cats. Not that I dislike cat lovers or even cats but I have no particular propensity for fondness of the four legged critters.
