What irritates me are the ppl who respond to posts and then get irritated when you respond to them... just today I responded to a post and it upset many ppl because they disagreed w/ me... this I am fine w/ (them disagreeing w/ me), altho I was upset and could have sounded more genuine in my apology but I was pretty angry at how someone jumped me (rather than my opinion) so I wasn't very tactful. If it's one thing I've learned on these boards, very few ppl agree and even if they DO agree on 95% of it, they will take that other 5% and drag it on forever until they've made an enemy rather than a friend... so I just state my opinion and move on, sometimes I reply more than once, but only if the conversation is upbeat and not an arguement. This place has really taught me that not everyone can be pleased and it's pointless to even try, someone will ALWAYS get upset w/ what you say (despite how respectful you try to be in stating your opinion), but no matter how rude they are or upset they get, it's never going to change anyones opinion.
Oh, sorry that got so longwinded... didn't mean to vent in your vent, just seem to be getting it from every direction today and I'm a bit upset.
