I would say it was a very good post because it generated so much conversation.
Discussions...opinions are a good thing, With out others I would only have my own, my own view . Others opinions and views make this world a more beautiful place for me to live in wether or not I agree with them.
For instance take my screen name "Pink" I love the color pink so much If the choice had of been mine I would have painted the entire world pink, pink grass, pink sky. I even thought about selling Mary Kay just to get the pink Caddy. In doing so I would have missed the entire rainbow. Granted some of those colors contrast, they still look good next to pink.
I thought about that word cute some last night too, and yes I have used it in a context that would be insulting. I have tripped snagged my hose, oh thats 'cute' Spilled something on my clothes , oh thats REAL cute.
Online communication can sometimes be difficult when you do not know the person you are talking to. You dont see the facial expressions, you cant hear the emphasis on certian words. Sometimes cute, is CUTE and is misunderstood.
BTW, I notice ya'll are in Va. I just moved out of the Commonwealth a couple months ago. I made a run for south of the border when I realized I was not part of the common who had the wealth LOL
