Ugh ... smart people trying to use big words to be dicks to each other. AMT for sure!
It happens all the time. Often for me its in how I'm engaging someone. I feel what I;m saying is fine they take offense and off we go. Taking time to read and trying to see it from their point of view sometimes changes my mind. I forget the discussion but it happened here recently with me and a member diggin. We really do not see eye to eye on a lot of things. I realized though that my initial statement was a bit dismissive and would stifle rather than allow a good dialogue. I apologized later that night or the next day. It happens, especially in the heat of the disagreement when discussion unfortunately becomes an argument. Happens to me and by me. Some take time to rethink and apologize, some do not. I can give you a list of those who do not around here in my opinion and I'm sure I'm on their lists. I think you might be there for now too as I haven;t seen any effort on your side since the beginning of the thread.hippiemom = goodness0 -

I'll say this....I don't care how people identify and want to live their lives. Life is too short for us to tell anyone how they can live.
That being said, this pronoun crap is ridiculous. They even have to document your preferred pronoun on medical records now. I told my wife I am going to use "her/they" if they ask me.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)
