Hi,

Lassie – have you actually read this thread ??

there is no need to beat that person up

you were insulting her by pointing your finger and shouting ‘YOU this’ and ‘YOU that’. She was looking for advice but all that came out of it now was that she scared away. She was reaching out and didn’t realize she was doing it wrong…..
Did you yourself scare her away, or did she just stay away

but one thing i do not agree with and that is that putting caps on is in cyberspace ‘shouting’

Lets look at the facts here a moment …

1. one word of caps in cyberspace is EMPHASIS on that word and not shouting.  I have already supported this with several examples from other websites

2. he does imply that it was my post which ‘scared’ them away.  rubbish – they had bev’s post to reply to the same day and another 3-4 weeks before I even posted in which to reply.

If I am continually expected to justify my behaviour in this way – YES I will quite rightly get stroppy – the whole point is that my original reply was actually everything the OP asked for, was not shouting and did not ‘scare’ them away.

NO WONDER that so many people stay away from here if they are treated in this way.

Claire.
