ASSUME

Post by fan4collingwood »

I really get so upset when people assume what you are thinking, and then go and tell everyone what they ASS U ME your thoughts are, and make out that they KNOW that it is true, when they are so far off the mark it could be funny, except it is your reputation that they are trying to cut down.

You can only hope that where it counts, that people know who you really are and will come to you to get confirmation before going around spreading untruths.

Don't you just hate that?
Or where you have said something minor and they then take it and blow it into some huge issue.

I hate how people use a public forum to air their family grievances.....It also pisses me off that no matter how many times a lesson is taught some people just never learn....

^why mate?

being on such a forum, its understandable that you feel more inclined to open up and share feelings you wouldn't feel comfortable about sharing in real life. the anonimity of it and the fact that you cant see the people directly that you're talking to etc etc

so theres really nothing wrong, to me anyways, for people to share such thoughs. it only makes a community like this richer.


Cheers :D

Annoys me too, but somtimes enough mud slinging and induendo is enough, and I understand that you have to defend yourself.
