No one can mix and mingle and carry on the ordinary motions of life without occasionally offending someone. We are too imperfect never to blunder.But do not use your fraility to justify your unrestraint as you thoughtlessly trample the feelings of others.<P> The Golden rule, Do unto others as you would have done unto you, requires us not to willfully hurt anyones feelings.<P><BR> The Second Commandment, Love thy nieghbor as you love yourself, demands we be considerate of their sensitivity. It is easy to be thoughtless and clumsy. So let's consider some additional precautions.<P> Do not show him up, This delfates<BR> Do not ridicule him, this hurts pride<BR> Do not bully him, He wants to act on his own.<BR> Do not exploit him, he is not merchandise.<P> Positivley, manifest good will, courtesy, and a little forethought. This is easier than winning back the offended. That is the best defense against a bad offense.<BR>JMHO!!<BR>

Thank you. Seen The Light. I love the Golden Rule, and so many have seem to forgotten it. And I was under the impression that this is a place of help. I have seen more animosity. So I thought to add my + 2 cents

Alexy,<P>No hurt feelings, if you read what I wrote it was not a "slam" towards you in any way shape or fashion. Only meant I think everyone knows the golden rule. These OW's (usually), but OP's are warped.<P>Thanks for being here. aftershock

None taken after shock, I understand that MY Opinion is just that. It is all good. Even if you do not agree, it is ok, differences are how we learn.

alexy,<BR>Let me explain again, I was directing at the OP that is attacking the boards. OP made the remark they were going to go read your "Golden Rule". My remark was then directed at that action - not at all at your Golden Rule thread.<P>I tell my kids all the time "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", so what does this mean? It means if you go and be mean to someone they will be mean back, but if you are nice to someone they should be nice to you. We seem to have a couple of invaders, who are not being nice.<P>I don't understand where they are coming from (not in the sense what they mean - I know what they mean I just don't know why they are feeling compelled to disrupt our boards, and MB. hugs, aftershock
