OKAY, so I think that I have a pretty good sense of people and have a general "read" on communicating within the WA membership.

N O T

Nothing is further from the truth when one criticizes an Ambassador, let alone one who resides very near the top. I tried to be critical in a positive way and added a wee bit of humor to my brief comment. I was pretty reticent to write this message, but got up my courage because "after all, I just read a blog by Kyle that made the point that we all need to be a positive and kind community." I am not quoting him, just writing what I was remembering and thinking before I hit the Enter key on my computer.

About the time that the response came back in answer to my remarks, I was wishing my "stupid" computer had a button that could predict when I should NOT make certain comments to certain people and keep me out of trouble.....LOL or that I could crawl under some rock or my bed and hide. (not that I would fit under my bed, and I would have to have a truckload of rocks to hide under...lol ...a crushing blow to my ego) . Pun intended.

However, after much thought and reading the quick and kind response while wiping the perspiration from my forehead, I ask: is there something to offer this community that might work better than a warning light on our computers when we write inappropriately or mis-understand a written word ?

As "someone" once answered : "A person can't know what he or she doesn't know." With that said, there are many relationships among the members of this WA community. Some of those relationships have developed over years a certain way of communicating which is my way of saying that they do recognize humor, sarcasm, or just plain know how to "read" the messages from each other. Then along come hundreds of others who cannot know how to "read" these chats or responses, or comments between two or among several members who have established that "knowing or reading sense of communication."

TA DAAAAH ..... We have a misunderstanding! IS THIS A NO-FAULT SITUATION ? HOW CAN THIS BE AVOIDED... OR, AM I THE FEMALE VERSION OF DON QUIXOTE JOUSTING AT WINDMILLS??

NOTE : YES, I HAVE NO SOLUTION BUT TO ASK YOU ALL , MY COMMUNITY ??
