In reply to Devious? Its hard w/just words in posts..., posted by Iwillsurvive on March 9, 2007, at 12:52:58
The trouble with being other than straightforward is that people cannot be sure what you mean.
But if you say what you mean openly it may be deemed uncivil.
And then you have to give voice to various parts of yourself, which may not be congruent.
For example I hate displays (as in Declan made a display of himself).
Consequently I frequently suffer from Posters' Remorse.But take the Politics Board. I think I might be able to say "So and so is not very nice" and remain unscathed, but that's about the limit.
So, Iwillsurvive, you just got a new posting name? I'm not familiar with your posts, but will check them out with an eye for deviousness from now on.
And it is hard with just words in posts, as you said. In social contact there are all the other cues.
But being bored, one of my needs here is to entertain myself.
