Different strokes for different folks. That's what I like about SR, there are all kinds of responses, personalities, approaches...Some people are fluffy, some are gruff...no matter, I think everyone's aim is the same; to help another in pain find the light. I don't think there is one "right" way to respond to someone. I rather prefer a matter of fact, no nonsense personality, a dry wit...where others do not respond well to that at all. It's the same reason Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors.
