why I don't post

[William Benjamin]

Although I do not reframe from posting, I try to keep it to a minimum.

One of the things I have noticed, is that unless one knows the crowd, then things can be misconstrued.   After having my spelling attacked I returned a post saying I use my spell checker, but being blind some things get by me as having similar spellings and such.   I was chastised then off list for waving my blindness.   I don't have thin skin, but you know, that is a part of me and I kid about it more than anything else.   I like to think that I regulate by touch and tune by ear.   Yes they have a ETD for the blind, and I might get one some day just to play and compare.

Another thread that goes along with this conversation is that with a short written text it is so easy to insult some one and not mean to.   I guess I forgot the cardinal rule that the biggest kidders can't take it.   Sheesh me thinks that I may have insulted a man that I have looked up to for years, but what can a man do?

I like to think I am an artist and not a great debater, so yawl have a great day and take your best shot.
