I guess I'd rather have true facts than true feelings in many cases, particularly in the difficult conversations. I've also found that I get interrupted in many live conversations. If I really want to get something out, the edited version is my best chance. Otherwise, I find myself feeling frustrated that I didn't get to present my side.

For more casual conversations with people who are my friends, the live conversation is nice because there is more communication of the true feelings and stuff. If I just want to experience someone as a friend, nothing beats live. If I need to resolve something, I prefer the more controlled venue. Does that make sense?

Yes, but in a lot of cases it’s the feelings that determine the facts! Look at Liberals! lol :~P

"...I've also found that I get interrupted in many live conversations...."

I have the same problem, usually because when I stop to consider my point and choose which words to use next, the other person frequently takes that opportunity to jump in with more of their own thoughts. Sometimes I think they may not have been listening to me at all, but simply waiting for more air time for themselves. Had a few bosses like that - they'd ask me something, then while I'm answering, they'd cut me off with something else. Very frustrating.
