True. If you are not careful how you write your opinion it can come across as rude. Some people have a harder time expressing themselves in the written form and still keeping true to their point of view...It can be hard for some to sound "soft". It's also harder to gauge people when they're writing in or us who are responding to the questions or answers when you can't see anyone face to face and hear everyone's tone. There is a certain finesse that goes along with responding back to questions, which makes some people here more worth listening to and perhaps some less worth it...? (I suppose if you let your feeling get caught up...). I feel that if you give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they're not being rude but instead forthcoming then there will be no emotional negative connotation and everyone can just get on with helping people with the best advice that they can offer. Being blunt is not being rude...necessarily. It really all depends on the individual. I'm not a rude person tho I can be very honest and I hope that I don't come across as rude. I can't image wanting to be rude to anyone here, when you are ALL here to help and that instantly solicits my respect.
