Quote: I attempt to be tactful, but what has to be said at times cannot be couched in very tactful terms to one degree or another. And a lot of it has to do with who gets the message, really. I've posted a bit on others' threads today, for example, and they were appreciative, which was nice, glad to help them. But I'm also thinking, "hey.. what I posted is similar to what I posted to Frank, and Frank was loud and disagreeable and put a spin on it calling it an attack. Not these folks." That points to Frank more than it does to me, when you boil it down.
Now, regarding respect, as you say we must show each other... didn't you just admit to calling me a puppet of satan's? No. I believe I said "operated like..."
"Brutal" honesty (even when incorrect) can only be given by those closest to a person.
Whose rule is that? That's not true at all. Bluntness and honesty can be delivered by anyone. Okay, I should have said that brutal honestly tends to be received better when it is given by someone close to us and/or someone we respect.
Thus, my comment about you playing devil's advocate...which would actually make you not FULLY responsible for your words...
Oh I see. Just for the record, I *am* fully responsible for own words, thank you.You're right about that.
