> What if someone said they felt disgusted by something someone else said?
Hmm. I guess that I think there is a world of difference between saying 'I felt disgusted in response to your post' and 'your post was disgusting'. While the first may hurt someone I think that the person who is hurt should think about what they might have said to prompt such a response and they should try to not take it too personally because we are not responsible for anothers responses at the end of the day.
Maybe the problem is that I have been taught all this stuff around expressing my emotions because I never would express them. Maybe now I need to learn that there are appropriate times and places for that and there is also a world of difference between a tactful honest response and a hurtful honest response.
I think I am starting to see what you mean on this.
I will think about this more...Thanks.
