You sound very upset Author 11341. But I think it is nice of people to include friends in thier prayers. When ever I agree to remember someone in my prayers, I usually will have a moment then and there, so I don't forget later. As for hurtful posts, you are right. Luckily I haven't had that issue arise yet. MissC.  |

Dinkers, I think you are right. Although, I do think whatever action a person decides to take because of a comment or an opinion left to them is that person's who reads its responsibility. Some people's honesty can come out as being rather harsh and its unfortunate because on the net its kinda hard to see all the different things that come into play with just words.  |

Miss C, not mad at all, just trying to get people to realize that words and actions can hurt just as much as being punched in the nose. As far as the praying goes, if I say I will, I do it right then. Its not right to say you will be there, and act like it, until you are actually needed.  |

Toodles, that is why I wrote this post, to MAYBE get people to think before they speak. I am sure all I did was waste space, but if one person will not hurt someone, then I have done my good deed for the day  |

No I dont think it is okay to leave a nasty remark to people... I do occasionally but it is usually to a post that was nasty to start with. And I promise you, IF I ever tell someone they are in my prayers, they ARE in my prayers.. I do not forget. Great post, it does prod the mind to remind us to be gentler and kinder, and to always remember to follow through with the prayers.... Thank you for pointing this out... Hugggs.....  |

DMK, I must say though, that you are right about one thing, when someone is depressed and reaches out to us, we just MAY be their last resort... Being kind does not cost us anything and just MAY save someone... I know there has been a LOT of "crying wolf" on the site, but for the sake of the Author, we HAVE to try to believe their depression... Thanks again... Huggggs..... |

How true, I checked the profile to see who this prolific author was...and LEGGO MY EGGO, it's none other than my buddy DMK! I did not know your actual number, how shamed am I! But then again, I can't even remember my own so...personally, I haven't had any problemos here that I can recall where someone went ballistic on me. lol, and that's exactly what I do with the praying too the reason being because I'd hate to promise it and not follow through, even if the person would never know. I can't recall myself ever doing a *hugs*...might have, but I can't recall. Yet, I toss out *high fives* all the time. Because you see *high five* HAH! That caught you off guard...but seriously speaking I get with what you're saying here. To be perfectly honest, the people here I tend to be the most concerned about are the depressed teens that are in a state of mind where they see suicide as an option. And anybody that's contemplating it and sees this reply, if you need someone to talk to, and I am completetly serious about this, feel free to send me a message. And another thing that I've learned is a great method of peace keeping can be..."the apology". The apology is a great thing, if used correctly. If you've made a comment or said something that's angered or upset another individual but you still stand by your view on the matter of hand, one can always say "I'm sorry if I angered you, that was not my intent." You know...but in a less hokey 'after school special' kinda way. Unless you really DID intend to send someone away in tears or put somebody in a violent rage...in that case, to quote a great man "I pity the fool." That might be the biggest thing I see here at USM, people need to realize a lot of the times that the tempers flare and the feelings are being hurt around here because it's not necessarily what you're saying, but how you're saying it. Great post, DMK. Sure got me to thinking! Weeping Giant  |

Yo DMK, Oh my goodness...we were just talking about this very thing at work today...about the impact even the smallest thing can have on someones life. Every time we meet someone, we are leaving little footprints in their 'sands of life'...and we need to be conscious about how those footprints may change/influence/build up or tear down that person. Everyone is different...people can be going through some rough times and what normally wouldn't hurt us may very well completely destroy someone else. Many of the clients I work with have led some pretty horrible lives...been ridiculed since a young age...suffered what some may consider 'just ordinary childhood teasing' but the effect upon their lives has snowballed to the point they are haunted every day by the memories of the harsh words and horrible actions of unthinking people. So YES...we must keep in mind the power of words...the effect our little flippant comments might have...for when we cast a stone into someones pond we may only create a ripple - but sometimes we can create a wave. Great Post. Peace,  |

Thank you for replying Agent Smith. I am so glad that some people really do understand what I am trying to say here lol. I guess if you dont understand, 1 youve never felt it, 2 never been around it or 3 just dont care! I just hope that people will think before they speak/type. |

Then again we are not all robots made to feel the same about things. And it seems that you are a tad bitter towards something...~*~Lievout~*~  |

Definately something worth thinking about. I generally try in every day life, but here, always. Like Master of Fate said, I would be willing to hear from someone if they ever thought I was being offensive. That is NEVER my intention.  |

You brought up a very important subject, we do need to consider the person who reads our comments, how we respond could very well be the last straw for some. Personally if I tell anyone here they are in my thoughts and prayers, THEY ARE. The friends I have here are just as important as the friends I see every day, many times our comments to posts are followed up with behind the scenes messages that the reader is never aware of, many connect and continue a conversation which others never know about. So sometimes it may look as though we offer prayers and hugs indiscrimantly but that is not always so. You made an excellent point here and we need to remember this when we respond to anyone.  |

Lievout, it would never be my intention to see all of humanity walking in a strait line. Bitter, no, I just have feelings for other people is that a bad thing? |

Hiya DMK... one more thing... and Yep, i have a big mouth.. hehe I HAVE said things that was on my mind on a post, and when read later, SOUNDED harsh, when I never meant for it to... I ALWAYS will try to make it right when that happens though... I will either say so on the post, or I will apologize in profile... But sometimes we SAY things that just doesnt come out right in the typewritten word... I still like this post... lol.. and HUGE HUGSSSSSSS to you!!! |

Anymore, I won't issue a sarcastic response unless one was left previously. Sorry, but I'm not your turn-the-other-cheek kind of person. If you slap me, expect it back two-fold.  |

I think people should be truthful. This means speaking ones mind. HOWEVER I also belive in being tactful. FOr example, instead of "Urgh....that dress makes you look like an elephant!" Saying "I don't think that dress suits you as much as that one" I belive in freedom of speech, but tactfulness too. When I leave hugz, or say I will include someone in something, I mean it. Hugzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz to you DMK,  |
