So for me its AS important to "how you say it".....as well as what you say.
I think sometimes.....important..messages are lost because of how the post is written.
I think Trucker sums it up well.
Some people respond to the 2 by 4 to the head and some people don't, so if a persons approach is to use the 2 by 4 on people because it worked for them then they are assuming everyone is like them .....and they are not.
(I don't mean you do that Taz, I am just using the 2 by 4 metaphor you used
).
I think it is Lbad who has the sig line..."say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean".
Some just love to judge others and tell them when they are wrong, I guess it makes them feel superior. I really don't think there are many people here who do that though. Most people are trying to help.
