There is so much to gain from the information that is given and received by all of us. At times there are misunderstandings such as Stacy experienced, and I can understand how she felt. I believe that people on TOTV are goodhearted folks, and sometimes acting out of good intentions on behalf of others who are being seen by them, whether correctly or not, as being wronged, unintended hurt feelings can occur. All of us have seen that happen at times; and it probably can't always be avoided. I guess what I'm saying is that when feelings are genuinely hurt on this forum, that is almost for sure not what was intended by the person who sent the message; so it helps if we try to look at it that way; and let it go after a while; let bygones be bygones. There are too many friendships to miss out on otherwise, from this forum.

In the long run, this is such a wonderful place for the people that come together here; it would be a shame for Stacy not to be a part of that, and for the forum to miss out on the benefit of her input; and I feel that others would share my hope that she will join in, as a welcomed member of the forum.

Thanks for he kind words, I will be sure to pass on the message. I think she is coming around and hopefully she'll be back posting soon. I tend to agree with you, most people do not intentionally post to hurt other people's feelings, but the written word does carry a lot of power and can produce just as much pain as a slap in the face. Sometimes people should think things out before they put their fingers to their keyboard.
