fastcompany.com

Fred, I think it would help if you were to introduce your remarks with qualifications such as the following:

In my opinion/ it seems to me/some people argue -- and I agree -- / perhaps/ possibly/ I like to think that/ etc. etc.

Has it occurred to you that one of the reasons folks here tend to react negatively to your messages is that the latter are couched in such absolute, brook-no-contradiction, terms? It's impossible to debate a sermon, after all.
