I din't even see a piece of chastisement to be taken in by, Jim. Where do you mean?

And yes, I realise you don't understand. It's not your fault - It's in your make-up. That is part of the issue. When people do not understand others they begin to see them as something different. For 'different' read 'not as good', maybe?

Can you not just accept that, while you see no 'slight or slur' some people may do? The ones that do see it as an issue are no better or worse than you. Why label them 'delicate, thin-skinned little flowers' because they do not share your opinions?

BTW - I would personaly take over-sensitive as a compliment. Sensitivity is, to my mind, a virtue. Why do some people see it as weakness?

Anyway. I know you will probably never agree that the remark on the original thread was an issue. Can you at least agree that some people may see it as such and then let them have their opinions in peace?

Cheers

Dave
