@dibblego @puffnfresh I think we may disagree about what gives people an excuse to ignore criticism - brutality does this in my experience!

@dibblego @puffnfresh And "appeasing fragile egos" can actually make poeple listen, in my experience. It certainly helps with me anyway!

@d_christiansen @puffnfresh "Making people listen" is distinct to "helping people get it" -- don't conflate the goal.

@dibblego @puffnfresh Listening is the first step towards "getting it". Most people listen with the heart and brain together.

@d_christiansen @puffnfresh This persistent conflation is our point of disagreement. I firmly believe it to be false.

@dibblego @puffnfresh But diversity of tactics can also be a great strength!

@d_christiansen @puffnfresh Diversity of tactics is not the same as just making up any old thing and going with that.

@dibblego @puffnfresh I certainly don't advocate making up any old thing. Merely being friendly, respectful, and adaptive in communication.
