And if I insulted anyone just by saying get a thicker skin, that's what I'm talking about. That shouldn't hurt anyone's feelings. Words are just that-letters on a page, not real life. I have had things that really were about me and it made me laugh out loud because it really did make the offender look like an idiot. I really dont know which part you are referring to, but you may be mistaken entirely. It helps you to stay cool and unstressed if you just let things slide. I still bet nothing was directed at any one person; nothing I said was and we shouldn't have to tiptoe with every word we utter. Someone, somewhere will be offended and you just cant please everyone.
And yes, it's against the rules to open a closed topic, so really, this should just fade into the sunset.
