ME

YOU
>>So maybe you should modulate? Have some mercy on the audience? Try to communicate in a way that is more pleasing to the listener/reader? Whatever your message is, without effective communication, it's lost.>>

Discourse and dialogue begins with beliefs and sometimes the passion and feeling we have for our beliefs get misinterpreted.

The best thing people with passion and energy can do is simply forgive myself and others for these feelings and believe that understanding can be achieved. Good doses of humility and frankness and humor can't hurt either.

Appreciate and understand your point.

Peace.
