Hey… I’m new to this forum, and I’ve found some good and some bad here. One of my problems is the occasional… um… rudeness. I’m not pointing fingers anywhere, but saying things like “I LOL at your ideas” or “that is obviously stupid” can really hurt some people’s feelings. Not only is doing that unloving, but it also squashes any chances you have to convince someone of whatever knowledge of the truth you possess. Sometimes the truth hurts; sometimes you have to tell a person that their husband is a cheat or that they are living a sinful life or whatever. I’m not saying that we need to spare other’s feelings no matter what. But there is no reason to make the truth more painful than it has to be, and usually it doesn’t need to be so at all
Those of us who aren’t sensitive to criticism must nevertheless do our best to consider people who are.
