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?

corners , have you ever changed your view on a subject because of a well presented post ??

i had my views on solar panels changed because of the posts on here !

Yes, when someone brings up something I hadn't thought about, or a new way of doing things. Like Ian's brialliant way of winding the EHU cable

Where did I say that? Blimey, I can't even remember things I've said, never mind what others have said.......you weren't kidding about that word document / stalker notebook, were you?

It was just after your post how you always leave early so that the wardens have more pitches to play with on deciding if they can use their discretion

So, please tell us, Arty (Boo, not the other one), has anything you've read here removed your nervousness about posting? As you can see, the vast majority of people believe it's OK to disagree as long as it's done with respect. Most people here are decent and polite.

Write your comments here...  Hi Tinny, I am not nervous per-se however, the forum DOES get a little heated now and again over what SOME might see as trivia. I am not a shrinking violet by any means and if I feel strongly enough I will comment. Often, I just want to write 'what a load of b.......ks, but that would not be polite or respectful: therefore I don't write anything
