Word sensitivity. Well like road rage......is that instant flair up when you hear words. Is the opposite of buzz word that are used in adversting, that give you warm fuzzies.

Athletes call it 'rabit ears'...where the croud talk get them out of focus and into a rage or anger. Politician it is negative ads, trying to get an
opponet into a political gaff that cost him votes.

I think that much harm is caused in the world by word sensitity. Think about martial disputs......see a connection there?

Voting starts nowcheers

I have learned to liste to tone as well. But I think that you need to put it into the situation some. E.g. a man swearing at a care wreck with injured family members there. Tone is a big key to what the person is feeling.

Sometimes its easy to offend when posting as there is no true 'tone' to the words.

People slather their posts with happy faces and grins to avoid upsets.

flare ups?
you must have us confused w/ another site
banana

anyway i think we all have our own stuff
and just like in r/l sometimes project what we think someone means onto the situation

a problem develops tho when the first someone tries to clarify and explain thru the misunderstanding
yet the 'offendee' insists that they are psychic and know the real intentionand wont accept an apology or explanation

thats their choice

i think in here-just like 'out there'
it takes some time to get toknow someone
have a perspective on their personality

lots of folks jump-or flare as mentioned on their own hot buttons
and as soon as they see or interact w/ someone new-all their old stuff colors their perception
and rather than sit back and wait to see-they flare up

one thing i have learned is that so often a persons reaction to me
has little to do with me
but thats not to say at times it doesnt hurt a bit
or touch on my old buttons

this is the risk we take if we interact w/ people
people are so pesky-laugh

hilarious

perfect example?
im the only one thats voted for the answer i chose

laugh

priceless

and ps-there is no 'tone' in print
and many people process clarity and consistency as confrontation

boohoo i say

wow

everything is relative and subjective
to our own history and filtering process
unless we really work grow and
learn some discipline to have it be different

dunno

Even here certain words can be encased in a sentence,r paragraph and one "word" is all they see, I tend to ignore those people from that point on.
