Its possible to be both.. which do YOU think you are?
i know i can be thin skinned myself sometimes...i do try to be tactful though.....
key word 'try'..
the point is..i can admit my faults..and i try to change them... I dont like hurting peoples feelings...and i wouldnt think that you do either. So .....

no but I know I can come across as tactless at times, which I have admitted.

I don't like hurting people's feelings either.

People sometimes come across as morally superior to others and feel this gives them the right to belittle those people, often using the same tactics that they themselves have accused the other person of.

Ironic, isn't it?

Nah..not ironic..its life. If you are rude and tactless and hurt someones feelings..expect the backlash from that. People dont have to lay down and accept rudeness from you..or me..or anyone.
and when people SEE that it becomes a PATTERN..its a problem.

Yes, its the pattern of constant picking on others, the constant downing of everyone around. Constantly finding fault everywhere instead of just moving on to another thread where a person can agree and get along and play nice.

People see exactly what they want to see and justify their own behavior accordingly. YOu have the right to go around hurting people's feelings because you feel that they deserve it.

Very nice position, being judge and jury. Especially when you and your friends can gang up on anyone you decide to.

It's like gradeschool here. Sheesh. But just know, you are no better than those you accuse because you are using the same tactics you accuse them of. The pot is officially calling the kettle black.

What happened to not saying anything if you have nothing nice to say? Or is that only something that others are supposed to adhere to. You are somehow exempt.
