Watching expressions on this forum???......you're a better man than I.
Labeling does not add value.

Hey Dewilson: First I was referencing face to face encounters . to "reading between the lines leads o false readings"..My counterpoint reading between the lines provides an opportunity to make further inquiry as to meaning. It helps to get to the heart of the matter.
Watching expression on the forum (of course not) because just reading the written word is difficult at best when better than 50% of communication is attributed to body language. Secondly, and some will dispute it, the responsibility for clear communication rests with the listener. Its why I replied in the manner I did. Its why when reading between the lines gives me an opportunity for further inquiry.
What's important to one person is not to another...that's human nature
We have some who are enamored with The Villages an obsession of sorts. Others are not..BOTH ARE RIGHT.
People have a right to express their opinion. They have a right to get things off their chest. They have a right to be heard.
If someone does not agree there is an old time remedy for it, its called RETICENCE .
I just believe conceit drives people to label people one thing or another. Its that conceit equals "I have the higher ground". Its dealing with absolutes
Perhaps, some of us are just more patient and perhaps more interested than others when it comes to listening to what someone has to say? I don't judge people. I do address their content spoken or written.
Its why I am sharing my thoughts with you now.
Personal Best Regards:
