Delete my stupid comments.

Im stubborn. I dont deserve adminship.

This is the billionth time I did this, I suck at issues like this. Now listen here, I'm not angry with you, nor do I think you shouldn't voice your opinion with these sorts of issues. I'm not the best at communicating either, far from it (having spent more than half an hour preparing this response)! And I won't delete your comments (not like I can anyway). You're one of the most intuitive people I've met here and maybe even anywhere else. It's not that you 'suck, but perhaps you need to ponder on how your response will affect the person you intend to address.

In this particular case, it's not that your reply was unneeded, her's wasn't either. What potentially led to a problem was the offensive undertone of your reaction. Maybe you weren't trying to discourage her, but the implication says otherwise (especially considering my response to her and the fact that we both made our point). On top of this, you brought up a past action of mine, almost seeming to guilt trip. As if you expected me to lash out at you (if that's how you felt, you probably shouldn't have said anything). Regardless of that, I'm more than willing to listen to what you have to say and consider how you feel about something, anything! My ears are always open! :)

Just remember, if you ever have a bad feeling about how someone may answer to what you've said, it probably isn't meant to be said. Or at least, you need to look into the issue a bit deeper and take into account how it affected others. If you have nothing to say at all, that's okay too! Just because an expectation is set high does not mean you should know what to expect! Every action does not need a reaction :)
