"There IS a difference, oh Bright One."
I doubt seriously that you were being complementary. Instead of me reviewing your posts and pointing out the subtle and not so subtle insults, how about if YOU review your own posts and see where you might have treated fellow FReepers who might not agree with you with a bit more grace. Have a nice day.
Actually I was chiding you as a bright person to think about the difference.
Yes, I’m fairly fiesty with a lot of my writing.
I used to be a wimp the first 30 years of my life.
I am working on being more gracious depending.
I have learned through thousands of hours of doing therapy that a lot of folks don’t seem to register anything with gracious.
Other styles may wind their anger etc. up but at least they go away and think about things . . . often more fruitfully.
Folks being angry at me is of little eternal consequence unless they choose to be unforgiving.
It is important, many times, that they think about themselves and the issues.
I will prayerfully ponder your exhortation.
thanks.
