Why so hateful lately?

If others feel the same way and are offended then sorry. I'll refrain from posting where others might be offended.

Carlos I'll PM you shortly.

Jay,
Don't even think twice about it.
Now I feel like I owe you the apology.
I swear I didn't mean to call out anyone and if I selected a word for this example that brought you out, that is not what I wanted.
I just used that one word as an example.
It is not about that one word. It is just a message to all to just think before you post.
I personally am not offended but I can see how some are.
I have chosen to bring something to light just to make sure it doesn't go the wrong path.

My thinking is that the more it is tolerated or ignored, the more it takes hold.

Right on point.
I have a relatively thick skin so my life goes on just dandy. I am not offended and not the reason for this thread.
If this thread makes each and every one of us think for a moment and remember it occasionally, it served the intent.
As someone else posted, things get lost behind a keyboard and often times misunderstood. From there, complicated further as emotions fly.
Just bringing some light to it.
