Please rephrase Dr Bob

In reply to Bob what's the problem? » Dr. Bob, posted by zazenducky on November 1, 2006, at 8:05:33

Good job trying to show empathy! I like the new Bob and appreciate your efforts. However please keep in mind when using feeling words that it is not permissible to merely substitute feel for think. In the instance below "left out" is a thought not a feeling. Possible substitutions might be feel lonely or feel isolated.

In addition when using feeling words it is a good idea to be sure that the word does not contain a supposition about cause which might be uncivil. For example "left out" makes necessary an assumption that others are acting to leave someone out.

Would you like to be civility buddies? You could have a go at rephrasing my statement above if you'd like. I'd appreciate it.

Your buddy
