What is and is not DBing

[ArnieBGood]

I wouldn't. It's ineffective and doesn't help me achieve the results I want.

But it's all you've done. You've criticised every post where somebody says it's OK to call bad behavior what it is.

Maybe you would be willing to point out what was written that was taken to be criticism. Perhaps expressing a thought about whether something is effective or ineffective is thought to be criticism.

That, my friend, is criticism.

Then we disagree about what criticism is.

Are you acheiving your intended results? And what results did you 'intend' ?

Do you mean here?

The starting point was a question about how someone who is name-calling ("idiot") could be validated. Since it was evidently not seen how that might be done, I demonstrated several ways it could be. The responses have expressed the belief that this is not desirable, or that there is an unwillingness to take this approach, or perhaps that it is not something that would even work.

This is helping me by showing different perspectives, which I appreciate. IRL I generally don't get as much pushback because people can see it in action.
