*Your statement indicated to me that you feel there is an unfairness regarding the flavor or language used in posts, i.e. "some can get away with more than others".

I do not agree. That's all. I think we're all pretty much on a level playing field, unless there are things that I don't know about. Did you have some specific examples in mind?

LOL! For some reason that little statement of mine really resonated with you. Well, that's okay. And you certainly have a right to your opinion.

Here's what I said.........

.... some can get away with more than others. It's always been that way and always will be.

It was just a general off the cuff statement and it's a true one. It's the way it is. And we see it everywhere whether on the job or on a forum or in the home or wherever. That's all.

We're all on a level playing field - sure, but the judgment calls aren't always unprejudiced and if you say they are they you need to remove the sunglasses so you can see things a little more clearly.

Not every jot and tittle that a person writes has to refer to the original intent of the thread. Hello!
