My issue with any poster has never been with having contradicting view points. As an adult, it is only natural that we all cannot see everything in the same light. My objection is often when the messenger is shot rather than the message. A few weeks back I had inadvertently created a thread called "TTW Library". A few posters kindly pointed out that there had already been another thread along similar lines. I called on the mods to merge the threads and/or delete the thread I had started. A point was made by posters without getting personal and all was well. Along similar circumstances, I had done the same here in my excitement of my preference for a player I happen to like. I had already mentioned that I leave it to the admins to take a call on being told that there was another thread already. I do not know what other response I could have given. Instead I read a post that's a personal attack - "indecent" (??)- for starting a thread because someone has started one before. If the poster in question has failed to see the damage done here, I can only sympathise with the idea that the posters English is perhaps not too strong or that the post was made with a complete intention of getting personal. Either way, the poster attributes to a similar treatment meted out to her in the past. I do not know those circumstances and if true, I am very sorry. However, that does not give any license to her to show a similar attitude to me.
I have always been against the idea of having someone on ignore. It feels wrong to slam a door on someone when a conversation can easily resolve many things in a civilised manner and I only hope that during my brief time here I have never resorted to anything that can be called abrasive. It is therefore unfortunate that time and again I have been made feel unwelcome on this forum. It has been six months since I have been here. I can say that I have enjoyed conversations with quite a few people. Alas, I cannot claim to have had similar levels of enjoyment with all posters. I shall refrain from posting henceforth. It seems that my innocuous posts are triggers for conversations completely unrelated to tennis which has never been my raison d'etre for joining in the first place.
