When I make a post, it's my opinion. It reflects my thoughts, right or wrong. I have a right to be right or wrong and to change my own opinion. Each of us can think for ourselves and do not need anyone to tell us how to think. I am responsible for me, not someone else, and others are responsible for themselves , not me. There are no thought police here and should be none.
When someone else has an opinion, they also have that right. It's not my responsibility to correct them and bend them to my thinking. I can state my opinion, set an example and if they choose to change, great.
When I use the term 'you' this or that, often I've infringed on their individual space, period. I am wrong at that point. Moderators have that responsibility. And this board is great in that respect. Obviously, complementing someone else's opinions, info etc does not put someone on the defensive, so using "you" is generally acceptable in that case and some others.
When someone uses the proverbial you, my cackles go up because a judgement on me or someone else has been made and an attempt is usually being made to correct the inferior thinker.
Everyone has experience on this subject from personal to work to family and friends, religion etc in forming their opinion. Sensitive subjects as these are probably best left to more intimate settings where it is easier to be open and cordial if that is possible.
I can accept that others have a different opinion than me, I expect the same.
