thank you for further explaining your position and thought process. I see your point. But, believe it or not, most people I post to, actually find me very supportive and insightful. But, you are right that my style can sometimes be VERY direct. I usually get very positive feedback from my postings, but obviously, as with you, not always!
I think that a diverse board, is what makes it so effective. And, I do agree with what Michele said, it does probably depend for all of us, on our frame of reference at that moment.
I was being tongue-in-cheek with you, when I said, "come on". But, someday when you're abit more distant from the situation, if you look back at it, I think you will see what I was commenting on.
And, I was using the same "technique" with you, in commenting on why you weren't getting the house cleaned. I know that you know, it is not an insurmountable task, and I hoped that you might see, how it sounds to make it seem, as if the issue really is the house, that's all.
We all post in different styles, and I respect everyone's right to do just that. If I post to someone, and my attempts to offer help and insight, are ineffective, due to my style or a personality difference...I move on.
Our individual energies, just connect better with some people than others...there is flow. Clearly, you and I do not share that. My posts were not meant to upset you, but, perhaps just jolt you abit, sometimes hearing things from a different perspective, can be useful.
I really do wish you only good things, even if that did not come across, in my posts. Good luck.
