Thread: I mean NO offense

  1. #1

    Default I mean NO offense

    But sometimes I add Info that I KNOW YOU KNOW, But I add it anyway,just in case someone out there does NOT know that. Sometimes those with experience in something, assume that because it is so darn simple to them that everyone must surely know it too. Please do not assume I or anyone knows something... I just might not have a clue. While there are a few subjects that I may be well versed in,there are MANY more that I have only a general knowledge in.
    Sometimes I will even go into a thread/subject and add something that the thread starter knows but others might not. If you think that I may have left something out that will help others to better understand, by all means do so.
    Yeah, this site can be fun, but I do try to learn stuff from you guys and gals. I know others do as well too.
    By the way Nell, Thanks!! You said something in another thread that gave me this Idea.... I was trying to learn something... and I did.

    No offense taken, Poco. After all, most of us are here to learn.

    Please try to use one syllable words for guys like 2dumb.

    Uh, yeah. However, if I can keep it on topic, I like to spread it around a bit.

    I never take offens Poco.. matter of fact I appreciate when you add to some of my posts.. especially foraging ones... sometimes I tend to take for granted that people would know the basics... i.e.- the sumac post... I woulda felt really bad if someone went and ate poison sumac due to a misunderstanding!!!!!

    See now that is what I mean!! We all do it, Take it for granted that everyone is on the same sheet of music. It Never dawned on me 'Til I read Nell's post in another thread, and all of a sudden a light bulb went off!! 'Cause I didn't know some of the stuff that was being said! That's when I realized the whole inspiration for this thread.(and why I gave Nell Credit)

    Poco i appreciate your input. IMHO repeating information is a good idea especially on a subject that someone has little or no knowledge about.I have always heard that the easiest way to learn something is through repitition. That's why sometimes I repeat myself in posts. I hope that it helps others to pick up on useful information.

    I am really bad making the assumption that everyone knows so why mention it? Glad you cleared up the Japanese sword tempering bit, I made a bad assumption that everyone knew the back was treated with clay to get the nice hamon & curve. I do that a lot and I appreciate anything you can add, keeps me from looking too dumb(one is enough). When I'm wrong I expect and hope someone will correct me. Now get Rick to eat a little poison ivy so he won't get it again.

    to fight... he'll just kill you.

    Coot I've probably got a better chance putting the Empire State Building in a Backpack and hiking with it all the way home, than of getting Rick to eat ANYTHING with poison in it's name
