[Opinions] Sorry, but she's right . . .
in reply to a message by Vermilion27
I always wonder why people find it easier to tag "no offence" onto an extremely offensive sentence, rather than refraining from being offensive in the first place?
Asking "what's wrong with" someone is aggressive and judgemental, and extremely unfair. There are much better ways to express your opinion of a name than to attack the mental stability of the namer.

I wasn't attacking anyone's mental stability. My god. I was only joking around to begin with. I apologize to anyone else who may have been offended by my "aggresive" and "judgemental" tendencies.
If you're "joking around", put in a smiley to make it clear that your comment is not designed to be taken literally. That's the accepted practice in internet/email communication, and has been for many years. It avoids this sort of confusion.

I see what the problem is. In my original post, I asked what was wrong with her friend, when I meant the friend's sister. I think that was part of the problem. So, to Cait: I'm sorry. I really had no intention of offending you, or anyone else. I'll change the other posts to avoid any future problems. Sorry. I hope there are no hard feelings.
