We need to use words wisely.

[kopenhagen5]

The use of words is a priviledge and should be used with the utmost care.

The constant misuse, exaggerations to get mute points across, self interest with agendas and intentional hype are wearing down the mediators whom need to spend time on genuine misunderstandings. As well as certain words losing credibility.

It is not kindergarten anymore and anyone using words must realize they have an effect, causing consequences.

So kindly think before you speak or write, as unnecessary arguments commence due to incorrect grammar or points being made outside of the original contexts. 

It is not difficult, if you are not sure of something, DON'T. Inaction won't get you in trouble, but incorrect action will.

Let's make tomorrow a better day by individual action to think before we act, speak or write and improve ourselves.

Thank you.

If you can't see that, I can't help you.

But you'd still like me to cease and desist, 'cos it offends your sensibilities. Then where's my freedom of speech?

oh come on now - a little guilty??? 

just out of curiosity is it ony online that you have appointed yourself to be Jimminy Cricket or do you call out people on their behaviour in the real world too - where there is a chance you will cop a smack upside the head for your troubes?

Everywhere and anywhere I see or witness something unjust, unfair or just plain stupid. Someone needs to call people out on their idiotic ways. Goodness knows - there's plenty of them! There's also plenty of keyboard warriors out there - but that's as far as their warrior ways take them.

There's a lot of posters here and elsewhere, who just love to create mayhem and discord - either by creating inflammatory posts, or jumping on the bandwagon. I personally believe in challenging deliberate misquotes, incorrect assumptions and lies.

As far as the smack goes?  Plenty have tried. Few have succeeded.

Anyway, that's enough from me. This thread was supposed to be about being a little more careful with the words we use - too many times, people deliberately misconstrue meanings for their own agendas. Don't try to tell me that you, too, haven't seen them?
