Oh mercy. I've got a combination of things that never goes well - a sudden militant attitude about what I think, and an email account. I'm going to have to be very careful today. In fact, I might just stop myself emailing altogether (unless I'm asked a question of course, and even then I'll try to be... diplomatic).
This must be what it's like to be one of those keyboard warriors - brave in battle behind the screen, fighting for just causes with every furious flurry of typed characters... and not realising at all that this weapon is blunt and offensive and could leave a trail of upset in its wake.
People first, people first, people first... whispers my brain over and over again. I've always said it - People Are More Important Than Stuff. It's just that sometimes I forget how stuff affects people and how intertwined it gets. And how insensitive I am when I've got a bee in my bonnet.
It's days like this that I'm thankful I don't use flakbook anymore. With the great power of social media comes the great responsibility not to be a pompous twit.
You deserve better than me trying to be a keyboard warrior. And anyway, as I said to someone the other day, behind the scenes, I'm a weed who can't even hang curtains.
