> But blunt can be good .I'm hanging my opinion on the same rack as your first line. Calling someone a boor is uncivil. Susan, as I see it, was commenting on university's post with her own impressions and attitude, and got spit on for it.
I *don't* think she was appreciating Susan's honesty. Just doesn't feel that way.
Not to me.
I do appreciate your diplomatic efforts, though. ;)
If it were me I'd save them for someone I felt was more deserving, like Susan, or me.
