I found a quote for Dr. Bob!

Posted by sleepygirl on July 9, 2006, at 20:53:42

"I appreciate people who are civil, whether they mean it or not. I think: Be civil. Do not cherish your opinion over my feelings. There's a vanity to candor that isn't really worth it. Be kind."

Richard Greenberg, NY Times Magazine, 03-26-2006

I think it's an awesome quote....!

But I wonder....would it be considered entirely civil here?

You know, characterizing people who are candid as "vane?" Perhaps that's a potential put down......

I love irony.

...or perhaps, I am really turning into a nit-picker with paranoid tendencies who sees possible violations everywhere....!!!!

arggghh!!

I like the quote because I have thought before...
why can't I say it if it's true?
and ok.... so it's not a "fact", but it's my opinion so why can't I say it?

but there are millions of times when it's all about the "why?" of "Why do I want to say it?" and who is it about really?

how complicated these social interactions can be..

>how complicated these social interactions can be..


so, so true....exhausting sometimes, even. But worth it...in the long run, IMO :-)

PS - hope it didn't seem like I was *actually* putting doen the quote you found...or dismissing it or something. I really do think it's so appropriate for DB and Babble. gosh, I am paranoid about being misunderstood lately....and I suppose this has strayed away from being Admin....oops..

 

good quote; good idea (nm) » sleepygirl

oh 10der... not to worry
you are not the least bit dismissive

I am open to any of your thoughts, it is not your style (from my experience) to be anything other than thoughtful and kind
thanks,
sg :-)
