Hi again @everittdmickey, I lived in South Carolina for two years almost three decades ago and I always still call people sir and ma'am. Loved the South! Yes I know about the southern manners:-) I wish more of our public discourse had that kind of self-filtering impulse. On the other hand, I dislike hypocrisy immensely, which is why I would always rather know if someone thinks my writing stinks, for example...just keep the comments to the writing and not about the man writing it:-)
I don't want to keep people from engaging in "speaking their truth" I just want to help slide it over to being more of two-way, healthy conversations. Thank you for your replies, I have noticed your comments on other posts and always enjoyed them.
Why thank you @everittdmickeyI really appreciate that!
don't be too sure..
have you ever been to the south?
like you said...disagreement....'by individuals who wish to "be sweet” and do not wish to "act ugly"."

thank you.
I feel the same way.
talk straight..but speak to the issue and don't attack the person.
