How to respond to ignorance

Kelly, I was on that same question and I know the person of whom you speak.

I know the question and answer came off badly, but I don't think the person meant it to be as it sounded (just as you didn't mean anything by your answer).

I think you should chalk that one up to high emotions and call it a mistake in communications as well as a misunderstanding. Don't let it scare you off, okay?

Ignorance is ignorance.  Let the person stay ignorant.  If someone is offended, it's their choice.  One cannot make anyone feel any way.  It's their choice.  Leave it be and know you had the right intentions!

Not at all.  Some people come into Yedda just to bash and trash others.  Report them to Yedda and get the person's account suspended if they are trashing you for simply answering a question.  Don't let someone's ignorance keep you from doing what you enjoy doing.

By all means, go right ahead and add me. (And even if I didn't agree to have you add me, there's not a damn thing I could do to stop you. Contacts don't have to agree - or to reciprocate!)

'SNOTS' is an acronym standing for 'Social Network of Total Sillies.' It is a group of friends who met here on Yedda, found we were constantly hanging out in the same threads, and subsequently gave ourselves a name in response to being labeled a 'clique.'

We spend a lot of time being silly in one particular thread, but most of us venture out into Yedda land to answer regular questions, as well.

P.S. I really don't think she meant it as it sounded. She is a very nice (albeit stressed out) person and would never want to attack someone for no reason. Give her a pass this time - if she does it again, I'll yell at her for you (she's also one of my contacts).

And it's really easy to misinterpret communication when it's written or by phone, because you can't see the person and can't hear their voice... so moral of the story, don't give up.  You will have the exact right answer for that exact right person who needed to hear your exact right answer.
