I had to post this message because I saw my name mentioned in a post about the Wii gaming system. I only write this message because we have had a lot of drama on the site recently due to peoples' words being taken out of context etc. I already posted a message about this under the Wii post, but I think it would do us all good to remember in the future that we shouldn't "call people out" in posts when we have questions that need answers or a clarification of something we've read. We should just ask the question or we risk saying something that is untrue and irritating feelings. At least that's how I feel. And I'm NOT saying that we all have to agree. Besides, isn't one of the purposes of having private messaging is so that we can talk back and forth about things in private?

I know that I would appreciate it in the future that my words not be taken out of context then used in a post. Better to avoid using other's usernames in your post especially if you've taken something out of context.

Just my two cents. I hope I'm not starting anything here. I just was irritated to see my name appear with something that i didn't say.
