ORIGINAL: MontrealPhoenix YES! I find that often it isn't what you're saying as much as the way you say it that gets peoples' backs up. Tact is a good thing, use it and you may find people listening to what you have to say.... If I could find any reason whatsoever to believe this... I might actually behave differently. NO one listens to any thing any one says if it is contrary to thier own thinking. There are obviously exceptions. There always are. Generally I am regarded as an ass... I can live with this. I am also usually regarded as right. I also can live with this. There are times when considered NOT right when I am in fact wrong. It happens. I learn. And move on. It is the times that I am considered wrong and NOT, that I wonder if my presentation should have been different. All in all, I am not about to change my personality to accomodate those who are too easily offended. On ALL of my profiles in ALL the avenues I use, I have the disclaimer that "the things I say will offend the easily offended." Perhaps I should add "and the notso easily offended."
