Don't be so thin skinned.

[MISFIT]

Apparently I have greatly offended someone here to the point that they said I ruined this forum for them, I won't say who unless they choose to revel himself they know who they are. Anyway this is a public forum is it not? If you make a post here or on any public forum you have to know that some are not going to agree with you, and you need to be prepared for that.

Now I'm not going to apologize because I am not wrong for disagreeing with anyone we all have our own opinions and are entitled to share them. I have had numerous people here disagree with me on many things yet I still post here.

So in conclusion I would just like to add this disclaimer... Some people here will not agree with you, so don't take it personally and don't be so thin skinned.

I'd like to add that we shouldn't be so quick to say "that's my opinion, like it or leave" either. That's just not a Christian attitude.

It is understandable that there will be times that a number of us will disagree on things. We all are unique and thus respond to things in different ways, as well as feel different ways about a various matters. Some things we likely ALL, should consider...myself included....are these passages when we speak to one another.

Proverbs 12:16 A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.

Ecclesiastes 7:9 Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.

Colossians 3:8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.

Ephesians 4:26,27 In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold.

Ephesians 4:31,32 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

James 1:19,20 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

As I said before, I could practice these a bit more myself. So please, when angered or upset by what another says here try to take some time out to reflect before speaking or acting.

Misfit,

How dare you ask that I alter the thickness of my skin to succumb to your idealistic opinion of forum utopia?!

:D

Just let it roll off you're shoulders -- no harm done: You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time. I personally think you're a hoot.

 

[Carol Lowery]

I think you're a hoot too!!! Now that was hoot Misfit, not toot!

BTW, what are some reasons one might be 'thin skinned' (not a vaild excuse, but a reason)?
....from marriage problems, job loss, health issues, ecconomic woes you name it, we got it!

When someone appears 'thin skinned', say something nice in return....

Who knows, you may end up being best of friends! :waving
