Again, in an attempt, clumsy or not, to test the water. [/quote] One of the main reasons I had for starting this thread was to emphasise the importance of the choice of words we use when we communicate on-line in forums, IM's or the like. In the absence of visual clues or even the mere physicality of another persons presence. It is the words we use that go a long way to defining the type of person we are, and the possible intent we have behind the sentiments/views expressed. I knew it was you not by any of the "clues" you mention, but by the "tone" of your posts. The words you choose when communicating with another. I realise you must already know what I'm about to say but I feel it's worth saying anyway. I have this written in my cell too under [5734] [quote]I have to confess that: Even though I believe with all my heart and spirit, that a peacefull, calm and considered respect for all living things is essential, not only for my personal well being and happiness, but for all, on this little blue planet. That anger, is usually the first emotion that takes hold of me at times of discord. An anger that sweeps all thought of consideration and respect for others aside, with an ease that shocks me. These "Red Mists" are a shameful thing, I am not proud of them. They are a negative and unworthy act. In this world we are in, right now, here. It is far too easy to say things "in the heat of the moment" click a button, and it's done. Almost without thought, we can spew our worst thoughts out into the world and very seldom retrieve them without hurting others. The internet thrives on instant communication. [b]Considered thoughts and respectful judgment does not.[/b] [/quote] Again you will notice the [i](somtimes)[/i] inordinate amount of time it takes me to write a post. :) It is not you I dislike argo, it is the way you sometimes blast through a conversation IMO aggressively [i]and[/i] selfishly. This distracts the reader and sets up negative feedback. There should be no points given for [b]not[/b] being aggressive. No plaudits for reasonable behavior. This should be the default setting. I'm sure there are lot's more to say but I want to post this up due to thew amount of time I take to reply. Loading...
