I think ladybug's OP was soft. I think @chelsmonster's response was soft. And then ladybug's response was also soft.
I'm not sure why anyone outside of those two are even discussing it because it was a very friendly exchange.
But I'm not the best one to give advice on posting, I don't think!
This is exactly it. Ladybug said her opinion. I voiced my issue with it (which, all I said was that it was hard not to take it personally) and that was IT.
But thank you irishsara for making it personal and saying I do this all the time.
My skin is too thin for this board, way too often.

Rubberpants, when you felt genuinely attacked, people did remind you how much we care about you, begged you not to take a break, and called you to come back towards the end of the thread. They urged you not to take it personally, but just to see the flaw in your opinion based on misinformation. I get you thought the delivery was harsh, but that second part was indeed genuine.
Same thing happened with dragonmommy, although several people alluded to Trudy purposely downloading an app to be mean.
I agree with what devonpow just said, that perhaps suck it up is wrong, but relax is better. But I just don't see telling other people to completely get over it and not others.
And ladybug was even a bit miffed last week during the discussion of loft beds! So let's just all sign a petition that says, "I won't take personally the opinions of others, although they differ from mine." I mean, I AGREE with thadsrad. I'm not sure that was obvious.

I wasn't going to reply because i dont want you to feel piled on. But you just said how your skin can be a little too thin sometimes yourself. I think that's all she was trying to say.
BTW, I love L's hair! It would look weird on Lou, but L rocks it!

*not probing/driving. In Panera parking lot lol.
I know. Thats why I only quit you guys for a week.
Lol, I'm cracking up at this discussion about my hair. It changes colors in the sun.
Here it is by the window.
Here it is inside
The darker inside color is more the color, but when that photo was taken TrudyCampbell my hair was much lighter from running outside in the sun all the time
I know we all get upset by things. I mean, I like to be all "i'm breezy, I don't give a shit what you all think of me and my kids!" but I do get a defensive sometimes. Like yesterday I was all I NEED MY PICTURES and that's that. But then other people are like 'but **I** enjoy the moment instead' and I was like NOW YOU JUST WAIT ONE SEC- then I realized I was being silly and ate some more chocolate and opened my phone to browse through the most recent photos I took
