DCM dropped the ball on handling a very teachable moment!

Suzie it is uncanny how much you sound like Rachael. I've read enough of your posts that I would be willing to bet A LOT that you are indeed her.

And if that's the case, I am not going to bother trying to explain myself again and go back and forth with you. You spend so much of your time being defensive that you don't actually try to understand what some of us are trying to say.

I not really worried about what you think. But I am happy not to have interaction with you. Lot of people here who think their view is only one of significance. And lash out at those who hold different view expect them to fall into line. If Rachel also not put up with it, I think I would like her a lot.

I don't think anyone has a problem with a difference of opinion, I can only speak for myself though. The impression I get, and please folks correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not about agreeing or disagreeing, it's about being respectful in how you communicate that. Now I understand as you have said before that you are of a different culture where you speak your mind and are to the point, which I do prefer tenfold over passiveness, or even worse, passive aggressiveness, but Its when you ridicule/belittle/negate people by making light of their opinion and make them sound like what they think is insignificant by belittling them is what bothers people most. You can disagree strongly without crossing the line to being flat out rude. People come here to vent, agree, don't agree, but to flat out and abruptly belittle people is not a good trait that I think most would agree with. Perhaps people are able to offload here and do a better job on a day to day basis as a result. If that includes mouthing off on how someone gets their blood boiling, who are any of us to judge in a place where members are welcome to come and do as such. Disagreeing with a persons actions is different from telling them in not so many words that they are ridiculous for feeling a certain way...yes I paraphrase because you didn't say that, but it was implied. I have strongly disagreed with people without being aggressive. I think sometimes it isn't what you say, but how you say it which is the problem.
