Learnt this about myself today...

My writing/speaking style can be perceived as me being rude.

And then when I went through some of the past emails and posts, well... may be there is some truth to it.

Coz unless the person reading the mail/post knows the background discussion(s), the content may seem rude, arrogant too.

May be if the person is wired differently from me (which I must confess most are) then even with the background knowledge, the person might feel that I was being rude. Even though that would not be my intention.

(So basically, here I'm accepting that I may come across as rude brute.)

I always felt honesty is the best policy and that it's better to call a spade a spade. But I guess I need to present the fact with a sugar coating. To replace blunt facts with tactfully presented facts.

So I need to be more attentive to how I say and write things so that even if a third person reads those things, the content (or rather its writer) doesn't appear to be rude or arrogant.

Many thanks to those who gave me the feedback. I appreciate your telling me.
