I never take offense because I believe women are sharing from the heart. If a post sounds a bit harsh, then that person may very well have a stronger opinion about the topic than I, but I haven't walked in their shoes.

My best advice is to jump in with both feet and expect to make some dear online friends whom you may end up meeting face to face someday.
