Good thought, Jai. I'll try to get it rolling here.
Ms. Munro,
Can you help us with how to best respond when we are feeling the need to defend ourselves to another poster? This thread is an example, although I don't know if those involved would wish to have it scrutinized publicly (at least more than it already is...).But I had an example recently when a poster asked for my credentials in a way that felt to me to be, well, smarmy is the word that comes to mind. (I would be glad to provide a link if that would help and would be okay with Dr. Bob, i.e. not considered to be uncivil). I tend to be a sensitve type, and can often perceive criticism even if it is not intended, so I am especially interested in any tips.
Thanks in advance,
gg
