> Somebody asks me how I am doing. I reply honestly. Tag team jumps in and starts to criticize my feelings. I say I'm okay with who I am.
Honesty is good, but not an excuse for incivility. The problem wasn't how you felt, it was what you said. There's a difference between who you are and what you do.
> I paraphrase a passage from the common bible - the most protected speech in western history, but guess who is wrong?
1. The specific way something's paraphrased can make a difference.
2. Coming from the Bible isn't an excuse for incivility, either.
