"Be civil. Do not cherish your opinion over my feelings. There's a VANITY to candor that isn't really worth it. BE KIND." (Richard Greenberg- N.Y. Times) I think this guy said it all in that quote.

What's kindness to a fish might not be kindness to a bird, for that bird may drown, and likewise, no fish can fly...
People can often mistake indirect 'kindness' for rudeness, all because they're trying to be a fish in the air or a bird under water...
In other words, not every knows what's good for them.

I won't comment on plain rudeness, or uneducated snarky remarks. But I know with my personality a face to face conversation comes across quite differently then in text (especially in forums like this one) Body language and gestures play a big part in conversation. I have a personality that combines sarcasm, humor, some "knowledge"
If you have been on this forum long enough you get to know some of the members style of writing, Very logical, humorous, kind, very well educated, etc. If some come across Brash or confrontational it's not always their intention?

Rudyard Kipling, a great writer and poet, once said: "I have six hard working men, and they taught me all I know...their names are "Who", "What", "Where", "When", "How" and "Mo"...
Yeah! I'm fairly certain that's what he said! I don't know why he said it, as I wasn't there at the time, at least I don't remember being there.

Agreed. I’ve mentioned the same thing in the past. You can disagree or share differing opinions without being a jackass. Let’s just all try and be nice.

It seems like usually I can figure out what someone is trying to say even if it’s not grammatically correct, and if the person has a hard time getting a point across it definitely won’t help to give them a hard time about it. I think it shows the shallowness of the person who is giving them a hard time about something like spelling or grammar. It’s a forum not a spelling bee lol!

Me too. I have a friend that says 'Madonna' instead of 'McDonalds'. My listening skills got creative.
