Default Crass?

Out of respect for KFC, I've started another thread--my comment has
little to do with the intended
topic so I have re-pasted the post into a new thread.

why

you can be a bit wary at the moment due to some of the crass comments
from
some on a.n.other thread about looking after KFC. I read Pat's comment
as
hoping KFC has a lot of good life in her yet, not as an adverse
reflection
on the care you give her.


I didn't read Pat's post as a criticism of the quality of care,
either.


As for MaryL (which I'm fairly sure is the one you're talking
about)...making "crass"
remarks: *I didn't see any of that, either. "Crass" by definition
would refer to a remark
that was crude, unrefined, and totally lacking in discrimination or
sensibility.


What I saw was MaryL taking the time to post a suggestion based on
what she knew;
what she had seen possibly save the life of a cat. When her post
wasn't received well,
what *I* saw, was her apologizing all over herself. That is not crass.


FWIW, I don't think Helen was referring to MaryL at all. *I certainly didn't
think her posts were "crass" *It did upset me a bit to be called
"anti-American" though. * Is that how you all perceive me?
