Communication

We seem to presuppose that communication is a good thing, yet, in doing so, so much negativity can be generated, for all the positivity that can be gleaned from communication, is it worth the flip side?.

Re: Communication

You have a point Paul, some people are not worth talking to, are vexatious & have nothing to say, present company excepted.

Re: Communication

Sometimes I wonder...

Re: Communication

Of course it's worth it Spittie. Just imagine a life without other people to interact with.

Re: Communication

If we didn't communicate we wouldn't have a forum

Re: Communication

I have found more good than bad when communicating, so I would say it's a good thing to do. Learn new things everyday communicating too which is absolutely a good thing.

Re: Communication

Just wish there wasn't so much negativity regarding this forum .......
Hope we can just move on .....

Re: Communication

I don't think this is about negativity regarding this forum. More of a general observation, really.

Re: Communication

Some folks thrive on negativity.. and just LOOK for reasons to jump all over someone for nothing... Must have pretty mundane boring lives..

NOW... there is nothing wrong with a heated debate over an actual issue or opinion, but to look for problems over nothing or what you THINK someone meant by a statement is silly.

I'll say one thing... If I ever mean to say something to someone?.... there is no mistaking or interpreting needed.. I will say it.. No need to look for hidden meanings... they won't be hidden.

Re: Communication

Agree - if you've something to say - say it - there should be no misunderstanding .......
Hopefully mutual respect would be the result
