Beardy,
There are other reasons why I don't post much, but the biggest one is because some time ago I posted something that was intended to be light-hearted and in jest. A few people didn't take it that way and blasted me big time. I've been gun shy and felt like I haven't fit in ever since.
You are an important part of this community. I won't speak for anyone else, but one of the things I find so appealing about your posts is their honesty and straight forwardness. You wouldn't be you any other way. You can't please all the people all the time, and you shouldn't have to try. If you did not intentionally try to hurt someone, then you shouldn't punish yourself for their perception of your words.
It's too late for me to go back. Don't make the same mistake I did. Think it over.
Greg
