Sometimes for the life of me I can't figure out how someone could take such great offense to something I've posted which is rather benign in the face of what often gets posted on here that is a hundred times worse. I had someone reply to a post of mine with only a finger wagging emoji like they were my superior chastising me for what I posted. I don't believe I've ever had a post hidden or alerted on, so the responder took it upon himself to "scold" me like some self-appointed arbiter of what is good or bad.

Usually I make a mental note of who these people are and don't engage with them any more. I just figure they've got issues that really don't affect me one way or another in my "real life".
