CFrance; I tend to agree with you. I lived in an area where the people were polite but less than honest. Honest conversation provides clarity but then some folks can't abide clarity or honesty.
A comment is made and the receiver feels/says you are being condescending.
Is it that the sender is being condescending or is it that the receiver has feeling of inferiority? Is it as the PC oriented individuals describe it a trigger warning or a micro-aggression? We have all heard that argument haven't we. S/he was being.............we all witness a different interpretation.
Again as stated in a previous post its also depends on whose ox is being gored...that contractor cheated me....stop complaining
