In reply to Dr. Bob, could you explain me this, posted by Sad Sara on November 6, 2004, at 16:33:10
Quoting part of your question, my observation follows:
"I see that you PBC someone who writes this:
"I don't think that peoples attempts to explain their feelings to you have been well received".Can you please tell me a civil way to tell someone that their way of responding to someone elses feelings is not a respectful way of reacting? I think it is important to be able to tell someone when he is acting in a disrespectful way to someone elses explanation of how they feel about something"
That's just it, there's no babbivil way to tell an another, "I don't think that peoples attempts to explain their feelings to you have been well received". Any statement that attempts to correct, scold, or shame should be left to parents, teachers, and those in a position of authority but doesn't belong on a safe board among equals.
When someone writes, "I don't think that peoples attempts to explain their feelings to you have been well received" it is really just scolding them for not being more understanding or receptive.
To me, it's an obvious example of a "put down" under the babble rules.
