SC - List etiquette

[Christi Redeker]

Hi ladies,

This post is mostly for Kimib and Lady Betta, but really can be addressed to all on the list.  Please neither of you be offended at what you first read.  I was taught by a very wonderful and gracious lady recently that if you are offended it is better to deal with the situation quietly than to air the problems in public.  May I offer a suggestion, please?  If you feel someone was snide or rude, please take a minute or two to contact them off the list and ask what they meant by their post.  I am sure that most of the time (knowing the good people on the list) they are not intending to be rude, but unfortunately nuances and body language are not carried well across the mail servers.

If someone was to come up to you and say that an outfit you were wearing was lovely, would you by any chance have documentation for it, would you be offended? Maybe, but if they were to say that they love the style and would like to recreate it for an A&S competition, you would understand that it is just them trying to increase their knowledge so that they can add to their own repertoire.

Please no one think I am trying to stand up and defend anyone, or attack anyone.  I just would like to think that we all could communicate without others feeling horrible or attacked if they post anything.
