when you have somethin to say

do you straight out say it?

do you dance around and turn it into a high school production?

do you remain silent and thought of as ignorant rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt?

or do you make whiny threads about it in attempt to bait the person into an argument?


what's your style?!

 

You mean on a forum?

That's kinda gay, so I'm just gonna answer this thread as if it was talking about real life.

I usually just say it, straight out... but at times I like to allude to it and see if the person I'm talking to gets the allusion... simply because it entertains me to no end.

 

i would hope that people represent themselves as who they really are on a forum, but that would be naive of me....

the question applies to both the forum and real life

 

People don't represent themselves as who they really are on a forum. Most people are much more shy in person and wouldn't ever voice their opinions, per example.

No one, not even you, is exactly the same way on a forum than in real life.

 

My style depends on my mood.

 

That depends on who I'm saying it too. I mean, I'm not going to waste my breathe knowingly. Actually, sometimes I do. I suppose say what I want to say more often than not. Kinda depends on my relationship with whomever I'm talking to/about.

 

Depends on how strongly I feel about the issue, and whether or not it is worth offending someone over it

 

on a forum i usually just up and say it. pavel's right... most people say things on forums they rarely would in RL.

that being said, i've become much more outspoken in RL in part because of practicing being open with my thoughts and opinions on here. so if i have something to say to someone, i usually just say it. but i usually wait a little to see if the situation will resolve on its own... just cause there's no use hurting someone's feelings needlessly. and then i try to use as much tact and compassion as i can, but a lot of times blunt is the only way to really get what you mean across. so sometimes it makes people upset. but at least i say what i want and it's not just festering in me anymore, ya know?

 

i subscribe to the philosophy... sometimes donkey punches speak louder than words

 

i dance around, but i'm way above high school now; it's practically broadway when i've got something on my mind.

 

no, i'm crafty about it. i could be blunt, but sometimes it's better not to say the truth. you never know what the other is going through.

call me a softy, but i don't care. i like people too much.

 

like all of my great answers before this one: it depends

i'll say something when i feel like it...other times, i feel like it'd be a waste of time and i'll move onto something else. but if something really needs to be said, i'll say it straight up

 

I only dance around the issue when it doesn't really bother me and I'm just being annoying. I'm blunt and come right out and say what I have to say if I feel strongly about the issue. I'm also brutally honest.

 

mine was the best.

can i slap you as a prize?

 

thats a sweet prize for myself as well

so yes, you can slap me

 

yes, it can depend. does one 'kiss-up", for later amore, or get impatient?

 

coo, coo. THEN WHY DON'T YOU JUST FUCK OFF THEN?!
*SLAP*
disclaimer: no slap-backs.

 

most of the time i just hold my tongue...i don't feel like explaining myself.
i hate explaining myself. =/

 

On here? I say what I want to say depending on how I feel someone treats others. If I could get away with it in real life and still have everything i have now, I prob would.

In real life I am very quiet and think about a problem for awhile before determining whether or not I should bring it up. My husband and family complain that I am too calculated in what I say. I have gotten this criticism a lot, but I think it's a good trait to have, especially as a counselor. It's important to make sure you only say things that are relevant and for the other person's benefit.

 

same. people probably think i'm even crazier than i really am, since i commonly say really odd things and then just let it go rather than explain what i really meant, or that i was joking.
