Post Rules?

I EXPECT misspellings and poor grammar, as who isn't going to hit an errant key or two. What I was
giving was a constructive tip to Rainbow, but I can see that was a total waste of my time. Many
times I fail to hit the shift key. So what. But I won't write 500 words without paragraph breaks as
it's tedious for anyone to follow.

You feel it's your duty to rebuke me in a passive aggressive manner. Try not to be so transparent
next time. A stand-up guy would just write directly to the person he wishes to communicate with,
rather than making oblique references to some perceived wrong in a different thread. Had you engaged
me in the other thread, I'd have more respect for your comments.

If your comments were NOT directed at me, I apologize in advance. Only YOU can state your true
intentions.

It is simple. If you do not like a post, skip it.

High school kids play the game, I'se better than you.

This group used to be about diabetes. Not an English grammar course.

Honestly,after so much suffering I have abandoned an effort to be proper. I wish someone could
give an explanation of Insulin Resistance that I can understand. Why pick?.

Lots of people are sensitive and have enough problems with this disease.

Since Insulin was developed the US, Canadians should feel inferior. At least they have affordable
health care.

On and on. When I am perfect, I will pick on all of you. The only clod I see is the one in the
mirror. Guy. zxc

Dave, I do not like to inflame things. I try to stick to ordinary things. I had a period in life
when I was direct and abrasive. Then things happened and I decided it was not worth it. When I left
home and took a look at the puppy for that last look as I headed for St. Lukes it changes things.
Even when the puppy died a few months ago and I am still here makes no difference. Most of my posts
are attempts to cultivate an atmosphere where we support or learn. I will continue to post in this
way and others will have to decide if it applies to them. I really do not know you or your history
so I cannot comment on you. Diabetes is a hell of a shock. People react differently. We see so many
variations here. None of this will be remembered a hundred years from now. It is so easy to use some
caution and thought in dealing with other sick people. Except for medical care politics, I prefer to
stick to support and learning. . I should not be that important to anyone to get offended. Almost
posted a header called Secular [censored]. Forget it. I do toss out a bit of cold water a times. The only
poster I dealt directly with was Charles Evens since he lived a few miles from me. He was very ice
to a lot of people but could be mean. He died a year or so ago. I remember when we did not have any
groups and we wallowed around in ignorance. I almost kill me. I want the groups to function. I
solicit criticism. Some distressed person may get hurt badly. I do not need to add to any person's
problem. I like to sleep nights. Relax and Enjoy. Good for diabetics. This group provides a nice
outlet for many. Guy

You're wrapped alittle tight, Dude. Chill out.

You need to watch 2001 A Space Odyssey again, to reset your clock.

For what it's worth, Dave, I didn't find your constructive tip at all offensive. I also find
Rainbow's posts difficult to read. But when you offer such help, there's always the risk of it being
brusquely rejected, in which case the best thing to do is to take the rejection with a simple "OK",
and ignore people piling on criticism.
