Take carexx

Hi CL

The written word is notorious for sending the wrong message. They do say that people should always "assume positive intent" when reading email etc, and I find that can be very useful advice. Many times I've picked up the phone ready to fly off at someone about an email they've sent me, only to find they meant something completely different but it got lost in translation.
Maybe we should have "assume positive intent" added to the charter for this forum - it could make life a lot quieter biggrin

There are times however when you just know that something has been stated in an innocent way and it really is a dig (this is a general observation by the way!!!). I think most people would admit to doing it themselves if honest. When you think that has happened it is the time to really pause before responding. Your emotions will oscillate between blood-thirsty revenge and rising above it all. It is when you are in the latter state that you should hit reply or submit.
As for genuine foot-in-mouth, Clare, I think evrybody has done it without thinking. Geez there are some times when I re-read my posts and I think 'What the fuck wasI trying to say?'
If this place does one thing to you it should make us all a little less sensitive - but that is often a function of what mood your in (if your a bloke) and whether you've got PMT (if your not!) lol

:lol: :lol: (It was a joke! - It was a joke! Alright?)

so where do I sign up? so I can become blissfully aware that I can put my foot in my mouth and be proud because I'am a member of the club :lol: :lol:

Phyically - I would love to be able to put my foot in my mouth! Well - no I wouldn't actually because I hate my feet and I suspect I probably need to get a new pair of odour-eaters!
But if I was capable of doing it - it would mean I was far more supple than I really am.
But metaphorically - I am as guilty of it as anybody!
I think the main thing to remember is that % of the time on here, whatever is said in a thread is never meant to be personal or as a pop at anybody.
The odd person (normally the newbie who doesn't stick around) may have a personal attack, but the regs very rarely, if ever, do. I know I give sometimes have quite strong opinions about things - but they my opinions and are NEVER directed at anyone.

Darling Clair,
With those dam sexy pair......your glasses that is, you can say what you like, you are far to sexy to worry about such stuff.
Anyway as the pest of a fella of mine once said, as a joke over dinner with my Mum and Dad, "How do you know when a woman is going to say something stupid....she starts with "I thought"", now I know that is sexist, but hes right.
But they love us really, and can survive with out us.
