I have had several emails during my time here , by people who swear and curse a little in their email
then go on to appologise to me as if I would find it shocking
if you met me .. would you feel like you had to be on your best behaviour ?
do I make people feel like this ?

No, not at all. I'd be perfectly at ease being myself around you, so if the odd vulgarity slipped out, I wouldn't recoil in horror at the thought of you being offended.
It's not like you're the Vicar's wife :-)
You're you!

Pangel, I've known you long enough to know that you have BOTH feet on the ground. You're NOT easily offended while still being a class act yourself. I'm sure that you're NO stranger to the odd expletive in your daily life and probably wouldn't be offended if one came up as a simple part of the conversation. However you MAY be offended if someone used that sort of language exclusively with you. So, NO, I wouldn't change a thing about my behavior if I were to spend time with you in person. And yes, the odd expletive does get past my lips, once in a while but I DON'T swear like a trucker or anything like that.
BB,

Well, I've known you for more than a year by now. We were in each other 360 lists too and shared many blogs together. Personally, I feel comfortable around you.
Everyone enjoys a dirty joke from time to time and if I send you an e-mail saying for example: ''Oh Pangel, I'm so pissed off by those bashers online. They can kiss my a**'' it would only mean that I feel like you can give me a shoulder to cry on.
That's the only option of using foul language that I can think of when it comes to you. You're too much of a sweetheart in my opinion to ever think of directing such language at you.
((((Pangel))))

Pangel, I've learned that the scripture that states
"A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath" is very true.
Pangel, I have not met you in person, but I would hope that you and I, if we were to meet, could be ourselves instead of feeling like we have to put on airs for anyone.
Actually, I think the opposite, I think you have this ability to get people rallied around a good cause. I appreciated your "Who Stands with me" question. I just wish I had seen it before it went to a vote.

The best way for me to answer this question is I try and be on my best behavior because if I don't want someone being nasty towards me, then I should not be nasty towards anyone.
I'm not perfect, and I readily admit, I have flaws. When I make a mistake, I just got to be person enough to admit to it.
I do have respect for you because you are kind and compassionate. I respect your boldness about your question about people giving thumbs down. I have respect for the fact you are constantly offering ((((((HUGS))))). Is it not a good thing to give ((((((HUGS)))))? I know I love giving them!
I'm sure we might be different in some ways, and that's ok. I love you know matter what! I have unconditional love for you! and because you respect me, I want to respect you. Well, for me, respect is just the right thing to do! You were kind enough to add me to your contacts, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. :-)
I am tolerant towards some swearing. And I say some, because sometimes it's actually hurtful, such as racial slurs or words that speak against someone who is not heterosexual, just bigoted stuff. I don't swear, or try not to, just because it's not in my nature to do so. But I'm not going to hold it against other people if they swear.
Regardless of how much you and I are alike and how much you and I may be different, I REALLY want to believe we can AMICABLY & PEACEFULLY agree to disagree, and that we can just have fun getting to know each other. I just try and be peaceful, sunny, and easygoing myself because I do not like myself when I make a mistake against anyone. I'm very much a people person, and ready to let anyone in my life who would enjoy having me in theirs, even if they are different than me. I just ask that they are respectful towards me and my family/friends. That's ALL I ask. I don't care if they're Christian, atheist, pagan, Black, White, male, female, emo, etc.
Skip those who give you a rough time via email. If they don't appreciate the sweet person you are, they are NOT worth yor time!
Take Care! (((((((((( BEAR HUGS)))))))).

Pangel
I always speak how I feel, so if I offend you I apologise
You come over as
manipulating the public' and very clever at it
You are obvious not a christian, to which you keep pointing it out to your mixed atheist friends' with the intention of your acceptance,
You have charm
tolerance, and communication skills.
Apart from this observation' I will not contribute further to your
ego,
As I mentioned no intention of malice is intended
but Pangel you asked for an answer

I've seen some of your answers when I've been answering some of the same questions on here, and I don't know why anyone would curse at you. You seem to be one of the nicest people on here. If I were to meet you in person, I would definitely be on my best behavior.
And now that I know what the parentheses mean, I can now say: (((HUG))). :)

I don't think you could be off-putting, Pangel. Perhaps those folks who apologize are just good mannered people, the type who make a little extra effort to be courteous.
Blessings to you.

I don't know you but it seems like they are just being polite and respectful because they obviously don't know you well enough. Though I find it a little amusing that the actually write the curse then appologise rather than just deleting the offending word. Not like when you are speaking in person and one accidentally "slips up". Anyway, if I knew you, I wouldn't be on best behaviour but I would be myself and if that involved a little curse if I felt passionate about something then I would do because if I knew you.....I'd know you wouldn't be shocked.

I don't know you all that well, but I'll answer anyway ;-)
You're very kind and sweet to people. And I've never seen you swear, or even do what passes for swearing on Y!A.
So I can see why people would kind of instinctively want to be on their best behavior with you. C'mon, you're the (((hugs))) girl... who's going to feel comfortable saying f*ck to the hugs girl?
But if I were to ever meet you (and that would be nice), I'd just be regular old occasionally foul-mouthed me and hope I didn't offend you. I just don't have the patience to try to be anything else.

Glasgow - isn't that an old mining village in Scotland? Well then... my best behaviour may not be to your liking ... but I would of course at least try to behave !
It'll be good fun.... You can play with my bagpipes.
