I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way.
Haven't noticed you doing "the wrong thing."

Metalhead

Whoever told you this should be dismissed.

No it's not your fault. I noticed something in someones post and then went off-topic, I forgot for a little while what the thread was about. I'm very sorry, I tried to clean it up. It's not your fault if someone goes off-topic in a thread you made, it has nothing to do with you really.

Very sorry that happened to you. You definitely did nothing wrong I'm sure. You seem like a very nice person and I hope you're able to not feel too down on yourself.

I just feel like every thread I start gets derailed and someone ends up getting hurt

I also think I word things poorly a lot of the time and the point I’m trying to make gets messed up.

Luca, I just read the whole thread and I really think this is your self deprecating side that is making it seem like you’ve done something much worse than you have. In fact, you have done nothing. Threads get derailed and shaken up here all the time because we are humans and we are humans with communication issues.

Rodafina

Please think this through with logic and listen to the words you’re hearing from others and realize that the onus here is not on you. You started an interesting thread, and there are many varied responses. That’s it. No problems as far as anyone can see.

That's not how I see your self expression, at all.

Forest Cat

Don't feel bad, it happens in other peoples threads too. It's not just you and the threadstarter really didn't do anything wrong. You can't control or take blame for what people do in a thread you made.

Rodafina

I am sorry you are feeling badly about it, but I absolutely cannot see where you did something wrong. To stifle your awesome self and your ideas on the threads that you start because of some thing that is being misunderstood would be a shame. Believe in yourself.

Gerontius

Luca, you're one of the nicest people on here. By all means please don't feel like you can't post threads any more. As one of the less nicer people on here I really think you're an asset to this forum and I hope people don't give you a hard time.

Luca

Thank you. I’m sorry if I overreacted. I just don’t like it when things get too off topic from what I intended the thread to be about because I don’t like when there’s potential for conflict.

LadyS

It's not on you if others decide to comment off-topic. I also apologize if I wrote something argumentative (if it was it def was not towards you, just relating own experiences). You always start good threads that are thought-provoking and sometimes disagreements occur which isn't a bad thing.. if we all experienced and thought the same, it would be incredibly boring. Such is life I guess.

I found both the thread topic and the offtopic to be very interesting. I have not seen people hurt either, so I dont understand why you feel responsible.

I didn’t mean to make it sound like I hate kids or I’m against people having kids. It just wouldn’t work with my lifestyle because I work, travel, and have a lot of animals.

Rodafina

^ you didn’t. And you’re allowed to think whatever you want. Looks like you are feeling better. I hope that’s true. Thank you for expressing yourself and hopefully the feedback gives you confidence in yourself.

Dog V4 sends hugs Luca. Discussion threads have a habit of wandering away from the original subject. I've long been tempted to create a special thread that is meant to be derailed and sent off in random directions. I realised that there is one on here already; post something weird or random.

Atrapa Almas

Half of my friends do not have childs, and its a world reality, its perfectly fine not wanting to have kids and its an interesting topic. I dont expect my friends to think or feel like I do. Friendship is not about thinking the same. Are you hurt because I dont have dogs? Of course not.
