I hear that it's very important to you to correct problems. However, it's important to me to treat everyone equally where pbc's are concerned. Honest is good, but sometimes there can be too much of a good thing. If messages are honest, but uncivil, they may exacerbate, as opposed to correct, problems.
Do you feel constrained as far as what you can express here? If so, you and Lou may have something in common.
