Assumptions about other Cellar users
Why do some message-board users seem to prefer to assume something negative about another user here rather than ask them directly if their assumption is correct? And be polite about it while asking.
So many, it seems, choose to post their assumption first and maybe even hope it's inflammatory?

I have always assumed that all Cellarites know better than I do and have more and better life experiences than I do and are certainly much more worthy. I live by that.

And that Brianna, goes straight to the heart of your problem. IT'S NOT TRUE.
Understand that, and you're on your way. You won't need to be reassured daily. ![]()
