Hell-o all,

In a conversation today that really had no bearing on kilt wearing, it was mentioned that is being nice all that bad? Well it got me to think about how we react to others and some of the comments that we are asked.

Do we find it hard to gauge what others are saying as a slam or as a serious and honest question?

I know that some have expressed disgust with the "question" only to find out later that for all intensive purposes the one who asks the question is sincere in asking. I must admit that I find that I catch myself with disgust and later regret how I came across.

So I am asking how do we come across nicely in our comments without offending others? Or letting those who want to "slam" us for being different?
