[split] On Human Nature

[Diana]

Don't worry, most people find me somewhat antagonistic, I somehow have never quite gotten down the whole 'gentleness' thing. I do not mean to be so sharp, but you are talking with a dragon, we have a hard time fluffing ourselves. It drives my girlfriend nuts that I am so blunt sometimes.

I don't mind blunt. I am that way as well. I just thought you might be willfully misunderstanding me rather than trying to understand what I was saying.

Think about that, what you just said. "Willfully misunderstanding". What does that mean to you? Is that something you fear from others?

No, I don't fear it. I just want to have a discussion here on subject matter that interests me, and perhaps I make the assumption wrongly that those who read my words will get what I'm saying without me having to explain my life story, and they will cut me a little slack. This is my fault, and one of the reasons I am here: to hone my written communication skills. So I will take responsibility if there was a misunderstanding.
