Delicate Offers a Truce

[Delicate]

I appreciate the attempt at honest feedback.

And frankly I've more than out my words into action. I've responded evenhandedly to dozens of deeply offensive and uncharitable posts, in this thread and elsewhere.

And if you're going to tell me to put my words into action, you're going to have to recognize that it's already happened to a large degree.

That fact that you fail to notice this, I think, is a weakness of your response.

Putting words to action isn't to keep reinforcing this change by repetitively telling people you're going to change.

The fact that you think just by responding to people you have somehow demonstrated this action you speak of shows how little of a "change" you had in mind while originally making this thread.

A person who is going to change doesn't need to keep repeating this claim, they just do it.

It's almost laughable for you to classify just by posting on this thread, as a "Large Degree of change".

The funniest part, to me, is that even if just posting on the thread you made claiming to change, was evidence enough that you had in fact decided to act differently, then we've already established on this thread alone that you have not changed.


Oh my god you responded to people in disagreement? Did you really!? You poor thing, that must have been hard, how did you make it through considering the position of someone who doesn't agree? Wow, I can tell you've REALLY made a big change. Not only did you respond to people who didn't believe you, but you also responded to people who didn't believe you! Must have taken a lot of effort, time, and energy.

You forget that change is not a one way street.
