> BobWhat do you see, Bob, as the general effect of crying wolf? In what I wrote, and got a PBC for, I was attempting to express what I see as the reason for crying wolf. I wanted to mention the effect of doing it, plus the outcomes, plus the psyche or psychological reasons someone might do it. Some of my examples may not have been flattering, but I do think they were pretty accurate. Plus, I added a dash of empathy, that I really do feel toward someone who needs/chooses to do that.
Plus, a dash of empathy for the folks here who worry and hurt because people cry wolf.
Tho' I won't speak my mind again on the topic, I thought it was rather balanced, as an overall analysis and opinion.
