In the past I've learned even if you try to think of everything and not try to offend anybody people do get offended and complain. Keep trying, that's what I'm doing too but in this point Ms/Mr Walsh is right ;-)

Here is a short story ... Few days ago we went to a dinner with few friends and met few others. One of them I didn't know. In the discussion while dining we were talking about politics, because here elections just passed. I said that I think a particular politician presented himself very well and I think at the moment he is the best one. I also followed the campaign of most of them and think I have objective view.
The person I didn't know got very frustrated, couldn't backup why I shouldn't say this and finally stood up paid his bill and left.
Well I think it was his own decision to do so, because what I did and backed up was to say what I'm thinking and explain it. If someone does not like it - well I can not do anything about it.
There are so many people that always there is someone to disagree, complain, get hurt and so on.
You'll never be able to meet the needs of all of them, Lisi. But keep trying this is the right way otherwise you turn into a selfish neglecting person and loose all your friends.
