Re: On Civility, Political Correctness, Honesty, and Frankness
Thank you, Jun.
I try to be open but I also try to check my language and tone.
If I have found myself writing a "buzzword" that I think will provoke a knee jerk response, I edit before posting for clarity - not to be "PC" or to self-censor, but BECAUSE my goal in communicating is to BE open and frank AND understood. Why knowingly use language that pushes buttons when another word or phrase will express what I want to say without risking turning off the reader or sending the reader onto a tangent unneccesarily.
My two cents.
