I usually don't comment if I think it will insult or offend anyone, but as I have stated in another post that hopefully will remain in the dead zone, (and I will not name here either). There are times, you just have to say something to bring people to the real world and let them know how hurtful some comments are, even if they weren't meant to be when posted.
I will use myself as the example, as to not put any members on the spot. I used to be able to write short stories and poems, with great feeling and heart lifting topics, I had a great education, and was also a teacher/ tutor for many years. But ultimately, it only took two back accidents to change all of that for me. being shot point blank in the head with a pistol, and then a bad car crash the day I got released from the hospital for the gun shot. I had suffered some brain damage from the gunshot, and had to learn to do everything all over again(eating with silverware, walking, dressing myself, think you get the idea)my mind was still in tact at that point, but couldn't control my body movements, it all had to be relearned. After seven months of being in the hospital, I was finally able to go home, and start my life again. But shortly after leaving the hospital, thee car I was in, was hit by a drunk driver on my side of the car, putting my head though the window.
I had suffered two more fractures to my skull, and this time, I lost most on my memories. I didn't know my own family at first(scary as hell), and had to learn to speak, and be taught all over again. I am still learning things to this day, that were lost when that happened to me. I have not drought that I will someday remember everything I lost, as it slowly trickles in to my thoughts day by day. I can only explain it as a constant state of confusion for me, because it is hard to know if the memory is real or not. I now work as a diesel mechanic, and build motors for big equipment. My parents tell me I have always been able to work on anything like that, but I don't remember it,, I just know how to do it all for some reason.
I guess the point of telling you about what happened to me is, to point out that not every typo, or bad form of grammar is out of laziness, or bad education, but from things some of just can't control. I'm just saying, try thinking with your heart first, and than your brain, they do work together. It is better to touch someone with a kind word of encouragement, than ridicule them for their short comings. I know, as I have been there many times since having my eyes opened by what has happened to me.
I just hope that sharing this with the people on the forum will let you see how a seeming-less Innocent comment can have such a devastating effect on another person, that you never intended to harm
