Says you. Fine, you're entitled. But don't get all warm and cuddly in your follow-up postings and claim you're not saying that other's feelings are not valid. You can't have it both ways.
actually i can.
not a big deal in general, can be a big deal to the individual.
Are these your words, or aren't they??? Or just what is it you do mean?
they sure are. and i mean what i said. i respect others feelings that they might have issues with things that might not be a big deal. that doesn't make it a big deal in general, even if it's a big deal for some individuals.
