No offense?! Yes, really!!

Unicron
[quote*]Or from the inside of a whiskey bottleOr a Heineken! No, really. I accidentally offended someone on another site with a joke I posted. It was about the same gender that I'am, but someone got offended. I couldn't personally see why, but I did learn the importance of being careful what I post in the future. The member & I PM'ed each other, & I got to explain it away. But the whole thing made me realize that there are so many things in the world that offend us all, without us offending each other. I'm new here, but have learned how to speak fluent kindness. However, if I speak Heineken once or twice a year, I don't mean it.

Well, I screwed up that quote, didn't I?

 

Hmm....dunno what you mean with it -talking about confusion - but I'd rather DRINK Heineken than 'speak' it!
And definitely more than once or twice a year

WELCOME to Wilders, 2dazed

Thanks Slammer!

 

Nope, I couldn't have said it better. And, that is so true. You're one of the nicest people I know.

 

I do not post much. Got to say this is an excellent thread.

 

Unfortunatly we all will at some time hurt someones feelings with a joke or a phrase that is harmless to us but hurtful to another, But at least at wilders we do try to understand the intent of a joke or a saying or such. There are so many people from so many countries from around the world that just the language barrier is mind boggling. What I am trying to say is welcome to Wilders and that we take that extra step to understand so joke away, we all need a good laugh now and again

LOL, leave it to me to be the one who comes along 6 months later and starts it all over again.I just wanted to say LWM that as a newbie here I am grateful for the atmospere. It's nice to find a place where people can ask questions without being made to feel shame or embarrassment.I think that alot of the time if people would just ask someone for clarification it would prevent alot of leg lifting and hurt feeling's.I look forward to posting here.What a great bunch of folks there are here.

 

Awww, I love you guys. Why didn't I know all this was being said? Don't you email one of those thingys? You know, 'someone has replied to your post....etc etc'.

 

Hi everyone Im as Green as Green gets when it comes to forums,but I became a member here because I read the forums for a few days before I joined and It seemed to me that people here were very helpful to the Green-Horn and belive you me thats what I need is help,more often than not.But please keep in mind that I am learning the in's and out's of the forums here and if I say something thats not quite right please feel free to correct me,because I mean no disrespect.One more thing while Im here can anyone tell me how to add one of those animations next to my name??Thanks Sticky note..

 

Well, this is an excellent thread by LWM, not everybody is so understanding and friendly. And, the best solution to all this is to be friendly, don't post/talk in an angry/violent manner. It's better to be happy than being angry, and better to be more polite than being rude, and better to do good deeds than being bad and doing wicked deeds, better to be friends than be enemies.

 

...and don't you (of all people) just love to make them, over and over again? warm greetings from a friend overseas.
Keep them coming-keep up the good work, bigc!

regards,

Life is to short not to joke about it everyonce in a while. No jokes make you old.

As LWM has pointed out, this can have you tasting your foot real fast. DO NOT release in haste the arrow which can "Never Return". A little thought and composure go's a long way, especially when it's a written thought...

 

A funny post by gerard there!
So mankind evolved from apes to humans at the computers!

 

Right on friend!!!

Just thought this was the right spot to post the comment Ronjor adds to his postings, overhere:

Choose being kind over being right, and you'll be right everytime.

Hope you don't mind, Ron. I like it a lot.

regards,
slammer
