"push back" with skillful use of language.

Well now that would determine by whose measurement is skilled, now wouldn't it?

Some just don't like to feel uncomfortable with certain language...or emotions with it. But they should not stand in the way of those who have language that gets the point across in no other way.

I recall trying time and time again to get a bully sister to hear me...fruitless to try. But the day came when she stepped far over my boundaries and I rose to that occassion. My voice went ten octives higher than any of my family had heard before....I made my point clearly and directly. ..and that with volune and a few choice words to take it home to the ears hearing.

After this my sister understood...saying "Sometimes people have to get on my level for me to hear them". And since that day she has never tangled with me again. She listens now.

We have no right to dictate or assume "language" needs to measured across the board...it is simply a means of communicating...regardless of the choice of words.
