“don’t know if I would have started the list in the first place, but once it was started, I thought that adding to it could only help. …”
The opposite is true. Praising a poster or two isnt insulting. Once you start listing posters it is inevitable that someone will be omitted.
” Also, I’m not sure the two are the same thing. If you say that you want to meet x and don’t mention y, it may be insulting to y. But I am not sure that choosing to describe a few posters is the same thing. ”
The exact opposite is true. If you want to meet X in most cases Y wont get insulted. But if You ask to meet A, B, C, D, E …and X it is more than likely that Y will get insulted.
“According to that logic, it is always insulting to say something nice about someone because someone else could be insulted.”
No, see above
“. And if anyone feels that he was forgotten about, he can say something, and someone can mention him, ”
Ah but that is needy and petty (and obviously nobody will now believe me when I say that I am not in the least bit insulted that I wasnt listed here and that nobody wanted to meet me on the other thread, though I am not. I am not sure I believe myself)
” While it’s great that people are being sensitive to others’ feelings, I actually thought this was one of the nicest and least insulting threads around. ”
Im fairly certain yo uare incorrect.
