> I feel bad about writing my post now. I feel attacked.
Deneb, I statements are difficult, but writing "I feel" is sometimes not enough. "I feel bad when I read the posts to me" is a true I statement. While
I feel attacked" IMO is more problematic since there is more of an implication that someone else did something (I feel attacked *by someone*), which may make them feel accused or put down.Keeping that in mind, could you rephrase the above statement in terms of what you feel yourself, not what you feel others may have done? If you have any questions about your rephrasing, feel free to contact the deputies.
Thanks,
Dinah, acting as deputy to Dr. Bob
