Hello

I was initially surprised at your response to Leonard’s post as I doubt that he was being judgmental. However, this is a good reminder that we have to be so careful what we post. We don’t really know the person we are responding to. We can get careless because this is such a friendly and well intentioned group and, as you know, we trade barbs among each other such as Leonard’s reference to my obnoxious cooking concoctions. I never took offense but someone else might.

We’ve seen the devastating effects of social media posts. We think out loud and often write down our thoughts because we are curious and like to share our opinions. So it behooves us to think twice before hitting the Reply button. I personally would feel horrible if I hurt someone unintentionally with my words and would want to know.. I’m sure we have all done this in our lives at some time. I’m glad @maone shared her hurt.
