I crash into a bit of this becaus my value system is a bit different from
others. The wosrt clashes seem to be over diffeernt value and subcultural value
judgemenrs, I ty to be careful, but it seems somethings are important to others
and not to me,. Or as recent events prove many take dress codes as a given and
I take them as personal space invasion.
Trolling and such, and "hitting up a secretary" at work seems a different
story, So are otrher things. But hat's my take.
HaveFun,
Sens Steve
