pot/kettle?
what I've been doing on this thread and on another is attempting to show how easy it is for ordinary people who we share our daily lives with can rapidly turn against each other because we experience life differently.
I've been playing devils advocate. It seems to have produced some interesting results.
Although I do agree with some of the things Trump said in his campaign, and some of the things Farage says, I have been called an idiot and a racist on these threads , nothing can be further from the truth.
If I have offended anyone , please accept my apologies, however you can see how easily it can be done
Yes, my initial gut reaction to seeing the comment about Michelle Obama when it first came out, was to say ( privately at home) some very unflattering things about Melania. Mainly because of how the comment was set. (Context)
That's also how differences grow.
The moral of that I guess is to go and have a cup of tea and not post until time has passed to reflect.

When people post "gut" reactions, is when you get that sort of comment in the first place , I guess.
My work emails are famous, don't do them very often, but have had enough experience to know giving the "gut reaction" when you are beyond exasperation isn't always the best idea
My manager lives in dread in case I sound off about some perceived unfairness.
We joke about it
