@KeithDJohnson @Sheril this was part of a job related course. So true and works perfect for me beside being one of the hardest things to practise!

@JohaFreu @KeithDJohnson @Sheril if something fires me up, I will often wait even until the next day, re-read, and then think about responding. It's saved me a fair few misunderstandings

@dan @JohaFreu @KeithDJohnson @Sheril

very nice!

Tons of overlap with the Buddhist idea of Right Speech. The idea is that before speaking, consider five things:
1) is it true/factual
2) is it helpful/beneficial
3) is it kind (with good will, intending the best for all involved)
4) is it endearing (gentle, considerate?)
5) is it timely

Number four and five are definitely often forgotten! Things that are true and kind may not be helpful at the wrong time, or with the wrong tone.
