That irreguardless as to the subject matter of any discussion here that someone will be annoyed.
In a place such as this, with as many varied opinions and lifestyles as there are it is just an innevetable fact of life.
But when a subject is broached, should it be abandoned because it hits too close to someones home? And should it become a point of direct contention? Where does the line exist?
If an occurance hapens to bother someone should he remain silent because the originator of the occurance may become upset?
Please, tell me, who is right and who is wrong here?
What is a person to do.
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Oh your gonna hate this .... hehe
Both are right, and both are wrong in different ways.
That is not a cop out, it's just how I see it.

I think this is a dangerous area. Primarily because it seems like a "one against the other" type of topic. If I reply, it might be taken as I am assigning blame. I think that takes away from the original ethical question you posed earlier. Because it has already elevated to that kind of level, maybe we could take it up again when cooler heads prevail.
I don't mean to disregard your question. I just feel that my answer would be counterproductive to my friendships with both of you.
So I must obstain here.
Sorry Marc, Sorry Lenny, I love you both and just can't do it.

My friend Marc : All we can do is to trust Timmy in his decisions..At last count there were only three soldiers left on the battle field still trying to keep the war going..We have strength in each other and a trust that in time things will get better..I pray each night GOD give me the strength to be an honorable person.It is a hard task when the bullets are still flying no matter how politely fired..You and I must not fail in friendship or support..I have decided to take a rest and catch up on some stories,they mean so much to me...CRVBOY and the BREW-MAXWELL series about Tim and Kyle are a romp in the park and will split your sides with their adventures.Gerrys MY FLOCK or the story of CARL will have one in stitches.Parenting is the main theme along with the antics of a bunch of horses that can read human minds..Thats what its all about,fun,fun and more fun..David in QUARRY takes his swan dive off the cliff,and the water is cold..There are so many stories out on the web that will touch the heart.Sure they may be fiction but they lift the spirit..The stories here are real good,but discussion is shot down..I wish that were not so...rob

The answer is for the annoyed or upset person to try very hard to embrace a mature response, to consider that response with care, to wait a moment simply because they are upset, and then and only then to make a post.
This is true regardless of whether the post that caused upset or annoyance was worded in this manner. If there is distaste for or antipathy towards the poster who created the upset then this is even more vital.
Being silent is useless, since we cannot learn from silence, And we have proved so often that a combative response simply does not work.

... and when that probability becomes fact... and someone is hurt... then I would hope that hurt person could come to this board and say..."I am hurt" and be able to discuss the issue.
None of us likes to live there. No one really likes pain. But we all love when someone show care and concern for us... and leaves the pettiness and ache of life behind...
This happened to me today:
My daughter lied to me about a miniscule subject... in most conversations nothing, really.
I said nothing for a while... then sat her down at a table and told her that really hurt me... that she couldn't tell me the truth in everything.. especially something so small.
I spoke quietly and truthfully.
After a couple of minutes she said "I am sorry Daddy."
I was healed.
Let's do that for each other. Let us get out of our own lives and reach out to each other. I believe it was smith who asked the question, which is something like "Do you know what it is like to be 15 - 21 and not have anyone to turn to??? Of course you do. You were there !!"
I, for one will put away my personal bents to help any one of you on this MB. I will always honor you, your feelings, your heart, your life, your choices, your being.
Hopefully, I can help make this a little better place... and thanks Timmy for creating this Place of Safety....
Bam Bam...
Celebrate your life... embrace your love... Become intimate with your place in forever !!!
