Hi kannas,
With all due respect, when I read something like this:
I'm going to post this even if I am not making sense or it appears odd or out of left field. . .
I don't know why this is 'sticking out' as far as for me. I don't know if I am sticking something out that is not related or off topic or whatever. . .
it raises a red flag. It would be helpful for me at least, if you wouldn’t mind clarifying what prompted this post as a reply to this particular thread.
MC, I've been thinking about this post of yours since you wrote it and I think it's important for you to know that - from my perspective - it is out of line.
Since kannas is new, you do not know where she/he is coming from. You do not know what she/he is struggling with or how difficult it might be for her/him to post at all. In short, you're jumping to conclusions and being rude. Telling someone who has just begun to post (and who has written about her/his difficulties with doing so) that you have 'red flags raised' due to nothing, really, is rude. It is lacking in external consideration and fairly thoughtless.
So, since I doubt you intended to be thoughtless, I'm quite curious about what is going on with you that might be making you more gruff and crabby than necessary toward a new member of the forum who is trying to learn the ropes. If nothing is going on with you currently that might lead to your reaction and post, then I'm wondering why you think this is an acceptable way to write to a new member of this forum, considering that you can't know if she/he is hanging from a thread or not?
