Have you ever offended?

Loads of people but nobody for a couple of years or so

I hope I have not offended anyone.

although she stopped visiting your discussion, do you still visit hers and does she answer your response in her discussion?

I cannot imagine anyone mistaking something you wrote as being offensive, you are much too sweet and thoughtful. This raises a question in my mind, I hope that I have never ever offended anyone. Life is much too short for that kind of behaviour. I like the premise of this post, it is very thought-provoking, we all need to be very aware of how we write things to each other.

Someone said that I blocked them, but it was not me.

Sorry to hear about your myLot friend. I hope not, but wouldn’t be surprised if someone couldn’t take a joke. After a while, one learns who has a sense of humor and who doesn’t. Language plays a factor here, too, and I try my best not to be insulting. I wouldn’t worry about her. You seem to have plenty of true blue friends here.

I probably have, because I am always offering advice, wanted or not.

Uh oh. I never intentionally try to offend anyone, but I guess you can never tell how someone may interpret your words - especially online. Some people can take things lightly, others are quite serious.

I'm sure I have. I have a bad case of "foot in mouth" disease....or, since I'm typing, I guess it's "hands in mouth..."

I know I get offended from time to time. But I also know I'm sensitive so I either ignore or try to "confront" the person politely. I usually believe they didn't mean to "hurt" me. Silence treatment sucks though, I feel you. I hope this discussion will make her smile if she gets to read it. Owning the mistake and apologizing is very important in this case. It doesn't matter if we don't understand why someone would get offended, feelings should always be validated, in my opinion. Then I don't remember to have ever offended anyone, but who knows.

I have offended someone as they blocked me. I checked and they wanted to block me. I am going to guess I have probably offended others.

Yes. Once. One word in my response hit someone the wrong way. I had to apologize profusely and explain. Everything was OK after that. It was someone from another country.

I hope she fogives you. There was a Mylotter who blocked me because I just delayed my answer to her discussion. I have this attitude that today i will write discussions tomorrow, i will answer to all my notifications. but today i will answer as many discussions of others as i can. but anyway, she is not so active here.

No . Not me. Ever.

I am sure I have, but as far as I know no one has blocked me on purpose..but there might be some. I do know for a fact I got blocked from one person's discussions, but we never had any drama..so I think it might have been an accident. Some people are easily offended, and sometimes we are too careless with what we say as well.

I hope I have not offended anyone. I try to be nice to everyone.

I am so sorry, I cannot see how someone can mistake a comment for an offense. I hope I never offended anyone. English is not my language and languages accidents may happen.

I have never intentionally offended anyone on MyLot but unintentionally who knows. When using the written word it is easy to misinterpret what has been said. This is especially so when English is not always someone's first language. Even when it is your first language other Englsih speaking countries will use words in a different way. So it is easy to say something in a way that can be taken in a different way by someone else. Seeing as many of my comments turn out to be longer than a lot of posts I think it is more than likely that I have.

I'm not sure if I have or not!

@AmbiePam well I am new on myLot but as on date I haven't offended anyone even by mistake. But I am warry of the spell check option on my mobile phone which tends to make my words offending but I take note and correct them before I press the respond button.
