A little offended by your post. In no way did I say anything negative about your post. It was an offer if you wanted to send something specific to me nothing was mentioned about what you said or what I mean.
Private message is availble to posters when they want to talk directly to/from a poster. It would not be there is not considered something to use by MCC.
Example: Another poster was going to UFHPTI for radiation treatments and wanted information on parking, locations, what to do when he got there. I send him directions, where to park, code for parking gate, entrance, lobby, checking in process, etc.
So I used private messaging as it was information that would benefit him and or him only and not take up MCC posting space.
Mentors on MCC will say that try to use open post that can benfefit all. I agree with an abide by that. In some cases though you are speaking to/from the poster only as specific benefit for them.
The comment about offering to use private message was taken by you as hiding something I was taken back. I am 78. I decided to use open post versus a private message for this post versus a private message since you seem to be offended to using it but post was intended for you and you only.
Jc76, I am somewhat taken aback myself. I was not scrutinizing your offer of private messages and I believe that I thanked you for your offer which I found to be sincere offer such as the examples you stated. What you have gleaned from my verbiage and usage of the language would only be interpreted as insulting by someone that simply does not understand me and the way I come off. Please(and I mean this sincerely) do not be offended, not by anything I say until you get to know me better because trust me when I say this: “if I meant to insult you you would really be insulted and not just think it- you would know it” But please accept my personal apology as this is not the first time that I have been misinterpreted or misunderstood. I truly hope that you will continue to keep me in your circle as I feel most others on this thread have. Deepest regrets as I would never use such a remarkable forum to spit venom nor insult anyone here. We are all kindred spirits here as we all share a common enemy; f___ing CANCER!! Thank you for your time, Robert
