Who is worried about offending others?

I do find, that when I am reading discussions that I am afraid to comment in the negative so I just don't bother. I can't work out whether I am doing it because I don't want to offend, or whether I just don't want criticism of my opinion and be cast into the dark unknown with everyone rounding an attack on me. Anyone else feel this?

No, I don't feel that, Arty. Anyone who attacks/bullies another poster is in breach of the T&Cs. It's happened to me and I reported the perpetrators but it hasn't stopped me posting my views.

Yes, I have realised there's some sensitive souls on here who take things rather serious and personal if you don't conform to the accepted believes. I apologise to anyone who now feels offended.

members should be able to give their view of a thread with out the fear of being rebuked , I know that I am not going to agree with everything that people post on CT , and if  I post a question about something I will accept positive and negative posts without attacking a poster because I didn't like the answer 

at the end of the day ,I can't see how someone can be bullied on a page of words when we dont know the person at the other end of the post , I have never meet any other poster ,so I don't know who you all are , but on balance you would all get an invite under my wind out canopy for a cup of tea and a biscuit Happy

i really am a nice poster , especially if you tickle my tummyLaughing

What a strange post, FB. However, it doesn't offend me. Why would it?

For 'bullied' read ganged up on, hounded around the board, picked on. You've seen it.

It was never meant to offend tinwheeler, just saying that in all walks of life some people get easily offended, the trouble with forums and the like is people haven't realised that if something offends you keep scrolling down and it goes away and you don't have to give it another moments  thought.:-)

TW, I think this is something that we both see differently and that's fine , and I would not force my view on anyone , but hopefully they would accept my opinion ,as I would theirs , yes some posters do get followed round the forum , but most of us give as good as we take ,so no real harm done 

in my shop I have lots of disscusions with my customers and often we have opposing views ,but that doesn't mean that we don't like each other and makes for good debate and good customers
