Re: How do you handle conflict?

Hi

They are very scary Summer.

We are often on the same side though,especially when it comes to ISIS.

I am the old man, they respect that, good at Chemicals.

I would not last 10 seconds otherwise.

Re: How do you handle conflict?

I have, in the past, been got to by people in forums and in turn have baited others. These days, and particularly with this forum I have found a friendly bunch of people.

I don't let these things get me down
I'll throw all my toys out of the pram and stamp my feet.

Re: How do you handle conflict?

Glad to hear that ... you've as much right to be here as anyone else.
Newcomer, old timer ... makes no difference.

We got off on the wrong foot.
So we'll put the new one forward.

Re: How do you handle conflict?

Well we all had to get to know each other and we all found the people we could relate to. I enjoy posting with nearly all the regulars now....but there was a time when I didn't understand their sense of humour or how friendly they were.
I always think it wise to read and learn how people post, before you start posting on the threads where people can be aggressive. That is how you get to know people!

Re: How do you handle conflict?

Doesn't that make you fall and bump your head when you get out to stamp your feet!

Re: How do you handle conflict?

I have a low conflict threshold..most conflicts that I have been involved in have ended in violence, it’s a character failing of mine

Re: How do you handle conflict?

Wild Blueberry, it would seem that the number of responders to your original post, indicates that you have been accepted .
We all have different levels of tolerance, but it doesn't always mean that it's attributed to a particular person.
All have different backgrounds, different locations, different experiences that can make them into keyboard warriors , although if we feel we are being targeted unfairly then we are perfectly at liberty to respond accordingly .
As Longdogs said, sometimes the wrong word can be picked up on and changed within another's perception of what is actually intended .
Anyway, I think you have put forward some very interesting posts and points. It's not you, so don't run away, stand your ground and don't be bullied.

Re: How do you handle conflict?

I try to be fairly calculating in how I handle and respond to conflict. If I get annoyed at something, I sit and wait a little while. If I find I am still annoyed after having waited and nobody else has responded, I gather my thoughts together and then march into battle. Quite often 'though I find most things are not worth the effort of any detailed reply. Life really is too short and I know that it is not possible for people on forums to know who or what we really are - therefore, I think the vast majority of responses can only be given and taken on a superficial level.
