    You'll get your share of it. I've had several members email me directly because they felt my truth was too harsh on some responses I made back in the day. I think the one that really got the most was one I made on pregnant women using the excuse "eating for 2" and allowing themselves to gain 80+lbs. The responses I got from that were pretty crazy.

    Oh man, I can only imagine! But did you get an email 😈

    The Community Guidelines were just reworded with the "I won't be a jerk" language within the last few years.

    Speaking of, you had this in bold when you posted the rules: attacks against the member’s spelling or command of written English

    Attacks! This didn’t happen. At all. So I guess they need to change it to, whether polite or not, don’t correct grammar. And they can probably take out the jerk part when someone isn’t trying to be a jerk. I respond really well to gifs, maybe replace it with something like that 🤓

    Yes, also in that post I said:

    "Also, the guidelines say "attacks against the member’s spelling or command of written English" and I do believe you were coming from a place of CARING, not belittling."

    No, I appreciate you posting it cause it hit me the next day that it said attack. I was like, wait I didn’t though. Don’t know why I didn’t notice that word earlier, you even bolded it for me 😊

    The only time to correct a persons grammar is when you are their teacher, parenting a young child.. or there is an agreement to do so between friends. Otherwise.. it makes the person feel stupid and small.

    Hey didn’t mean to skim over your response. I always thought if you meant well and you were helping than people can take it the way they want. I can’t live my life trying to do what I assume everyone else wants me to do. I’ve always lived my life doing what seemed pure in my heart, or at least I try to. But I appreciate your POV and certainly take it to heart.
