Yikes - put my foot in it yesteryday....

Wrote a post asking about "altered art" - meant to just be "what is it", but guess I was a bit mean in how I said it. (Tough day at work, but that shouldn't be an excuse...)

Had several very nice comments, and some good responses that showed really nice examples of the work - which really helped me understand AND appreciate it.

However, overnight (this a.m.?) some people posted who were obviously PO'd at the way I asked. Wow...yet, when I reread my original posts, it WAS NOT a very nice way to ask the question. Yikes. I hope I've not made enemies....

Let me add...I apologized for the tone, in a new thread. Hopefully that doesn't stir things up worse, but I really felt like I SHOULD apologize. Maybe that wasn't the right tack...we'll find out.

you should add a link to the post for us nosey-nellies, bc as we all know, it is really challenging to do a search in the forums.

i also think that it doesn't always matter if you (i mean anyone) mean to "sound" neutral, there are always people just waiting to pounce and be super defensive. it has happened to me before, and i thought i was being nice!

by the way, "thanks" for the tag... just kidding, should be fun! it's my first. off to think of interesting things about myself...
