Assuming is bad. Asking for clarification is better. I think I need to teach a communication class. No one would come tho. lol
haha
I took counselling courses about oh...15 years or so ago....it was determined I was an excellent communicator
the goal should be for the person to express themself properly by actually being in touch with their own thoughts and feelings and low and behold, most folks cannot do that
some people here just run roughshod over every post with chains rattling behind them...the chains are the prison they are in them self and they are desperate to wrap them around anyone they can
should we make it a pre-requiste that all future members must take and pass a course on proper communication while we ferret out the loosers we have now? (note...loosers is said slightly tongue in cheek....some folks are just rude)
I always ask for clarification but I find that is rarely extended...people come on like gang busters with insults and names and throw Bible verses like grenades...
it is never going to change except on a personal basis and most people seem to think it's the other person
sometimes it is the other person...but when 20 people are telling you that it is you, well, maybe you should listen (generic you)
