Honesty is a great thing.....when done tactfully I've known some very rude people, and they chalk it up as "well just being honest" when in reality they could have said the same thing in a different way that didn't require them to be rude. Honesty is not an excuse for being rude in my opinion. True...I am rude...sometimes...as well

I was in no way being rude. I was expressing my thoughts in the thread about things you would do for your partner. One was kind of sensual. This woman came from nowhere ive never seen her in the forums. I didn't give her the time of day to respond just blocked her

I know it's not my business, but I am fascinated with this discussion.
Honesty is beautiful and the reality is that anything can be offered in a gentle way. I think there is a difference between being truthful and being blunt - I can be truthful and clear, and I don't ever have to give my power away to anyone else without having to be blunt. If truth and honesty is what I am valuing, then that is separate from how I deliver truth and honesty. I absolutely want truth and honesty from people in my life, but I believe it can be offered gently and in a nurturing way. When I receive a rude, angry or aggressive message, I have a hard time trusting or accepting the message - even when it's valuable. And I guess the piece that travels with honesty is about boundaries - and we all get to decide if and how much we allow someone else's behaviour to affect us. Just some thoughts - or am I way off base? |

I am way too open and honest to be online - I've run into too many phonies. The exception is the Forums. Everyone here sounds honest and open. The only problem I have is coming in too late to be a part of what's going on so probably there is no one left to read my post.

I'm wondering if this woman might be secretly wishing she was more overt, and rather than confronting her own discomfort about expressing, or not expressing her own sensuality, she tried to censor you.
Just thought. Personally I appreciate people's honesty on here, it's quite refreshing to see people speaking honestly rather than skating around ideas. Keep on being honest please
