It's only words

Oh if only that were true.

For then, an ill-chosen word wouldn’t hurt.

“I didn’t mean that…” they say. So why say it?

If words were not so powerful, we would not have stories; neither would we be able to say “I love you”. It works both ways.

Often what we say is not what was meant.

So why is it surprising that those who lurk in the shadows here to read should be termed “guests”, whilst those who choose to openly frequent should be termed “users”?
