Of course there's a difference., DooBdoo. But this thread has now become circular, and when that happens, that indicates to me anyway, a thread has pretty much run its course.

Why can't someone say the do not like all the pictures, but it is ok to say you do like them?

Double standard?

I think they get out of hand, as do the emoticons. That is my opinion, if I am permitted to speak.

It wasn't that they said they didn't like them. They scolded those who posted them and do like them. See?

I could see the scold if one started a thread and then asked people not to post pictures. That is not the case here.

Wookie stated her opinion without the scold.

See the difference. If I may be permitted to speak.

I have to admit I find the picture graphics nothing more than thread clutter. That's why I have never posted on the "pictures" thread.

It's nothing personal, but not everyone likes them. I prefer to communicate using words as descriptors.

I really hope no one takes offense, but I feel the same way you do, wookie. No matter who starts a thread, I think the graphics are distracting and a little disrespectful to those trying to read. I've always been clear that I'm not a fan of all the GIFs and pix, and I know that puts a wee bit of a target on my back to say it.

(My apologies to those who disagree.)

No need to apologize DooBdoo. I like them and I'm not apologizing for that.

There are many things on the boards I don't like either and I have to just ignore them or put the person who annoys me on ignore. Different strokes for different folks.

No problem! We can still be friendly and agree to disagree.

I agree with both of you.

When my computer was infected with a bad virus, one of the first things I was asked was if I used GIFs. When I said no, I was told they are frequently troublesome.

Scolding is in the eye of the beholder.

A person should be able to give an opinion on something without being accused of scolding.

We are all just trying to participate in a thread together. Just like if we say that all caps is distracting, that is not a scold. Now, if I called someone a name or got personal in the opinion, that would be mean.

You don't have to agree with opinions, but ridiculing is not very kind -- since we are all talking about acts of kindness.

ITA in ANY subject..

Indeed. As one who has been accused of scolding many times

I saw it as a scold. If you didn't difference of opinion. And make sure you know which posts were considered scolds.
