Of course - I experience the same thing here and everywhere. Here is hard, because "tone" is neutral in the printed word..you either have to use tons of other words to set the tone, or put a disclosure in that you are not intending to hurt or cause pain. So a lot of times, I just keep quiet - let people have their way. Other times, I retalliate and cause harm....sometimes the balancing point "comes out". Usually when I am not taking something too personally.
But I agree - to keep quiet can be as bad as condoning. My favorite line in the book about this mentions that we are neither servile nor scraping - I had to look into what that means...particularly when making ammends.
Someone here, and maybe they will share - wrote an online posting "ideal". Seems like a good idea for everyone. I know it has helped me.
Deep stuff kid..LOVING it!
