There was no other way BUT to take it "personally"...I mean, it was okay for him to address me in the way he did, but I'm the one that needs to "lighten up" to not "take things so personally"...
All I was saying was, he didn't need to be so harsh about his statement delivery...it's incredible to me that someone could take the time to write these for the sake of information and discussion, and the one doing the posting is constantly being told to stop taking things so personally and stop overreacting when others have nothing but negative things to say in response to the threads -- absolutely baffling to me. Then, to add insult to injury, people come out of the woodwork and slap the people who make comments like that on the back, congratulating them and thanking them for what they've done.
Absolutely unbelievable.
