I never said you don't say thanks. I understand that the first part of the sentence upset you, but I think the part following the coma is the important part. What I am advocating are deescalation techniques. I am also challenging you to take action and deescalate and shape the conversation. Otherwise, nothing changes.Innovate wrote:*Sigh*neuraleskimo wrote: Instead of going on a rant about people going on a rant, do something about it. Why not simply say, "thanks for the advice, but that isn't funny" or "sorry, I don't have the technical background you do...", or similar. Also, if you do make a mistake and get chastised, what is wrong with "sorry?" I see a lot of indignation here and elsewhere.

Dude, I never recall I never thanks anyone.
Are you try to spin my mind? false accusation perhaps...?
Also, as you have demonstrated, we are all are too quick to anger.
