Wasn't there a thread a short while back where a lot of feelings got hurt. . .where one of your famous-Bob-zen-phrases was taken the wrong way?
And in the end, you made it clear to us that the intention behind your words was warm, helpful, humorous. . .
I'm thinking this is happening again.
Before I was part of that rich exhange, where I felt I got to know you a little better, your responses made me very nervous. I couldn't tell, were you a nice guy?
Maybe someone not on that thread would still be nervous. Maybe women even moreso.
Men who have trouble expressing their feelings can resort to short and pointed questions. . that would read, on paper, exactly like your posts. Anyone brushing someone off, brushing off emotional truth.
I remember on that thread, you asked that we trust you more. I thought I would give you more of an idea of what you're asking.
There's probably a way to let women on the board know right off the bat. . .you're a safe guy.
Just some thoughts,
Zo
