Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 My post on Listening yesterday evoked a good response. I won't do this every day but I thought this one also fit the bill for this forum. Believe me I'm not playing holier than thou,..........I have a mirror too. http://daily.upperroom.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 WT....just hope it has some positive affect here. It seems to be with the exception of one or two but hey some will never change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icanthearyou 4,462 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Again, your words are great. However, when I see you practice what you preach and, I see you call out "your own", I will believe that you are genuine. You can call me skeptically optimistic.

I'm calling this whole listening thing a crock and a set up. Last time I was asked a question and provided a response based off facts and discussion the reply was I can give a rats ass what you think and hit with personnel insults.

AUUSN 823 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I guess making fun of a prior Secretary of State's weight is all part of this 'kumbaya' initiative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Geez AUUSN......can't you find something better to be critical about. I also added "like me." I have no initiative. I just shared someone else's thoughts for consideration here among fellow Auburn posters. It seems to be working a little bit. Try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURaptor 1,121 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'll play nice in this thread as I kinda ignored the spirit of the last thread. The theme reminds me of something Denis Prager often says, and that's he prefers clarity to agreement. And of course, the first part of clarity, or knowing what someone else is saying, is to listen to them, and not PROJECT the very worst , cartoonish version of what you think they're saying, and then attacking them for that, instead of their actual point of view.

Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 I guess being civil is just not your thing. So be it. It doesn't work for everybody. She is a public figure, open to factual comments. This IS the Political Forum after all. My hope was for more civility between posters here. Say what you want against political figures.

Geez, Raptor. I am impressed - if not to say, gob smacked. Let's face it. Most people are focusing on the response they can fashion around a statement instead of simply considering the statement.

Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 aufaninga......like I said, don't expect everyone to join in but don't lump everyone in your comments either.Go back and look at your post mentioning "listening" in the unemployment rate thread and note the only poster you call by name. Then come back and read this whole thread and tell me who you see making insults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then come back and read this whole thread and tell me who you see making insults. Well, here's a chance to actually test the sincerity of your appeal for better listening. How about YOU going back through this thread and SHOW us those "insults". Keep in mind that expressions of skepticism are not insults. The only one I found was "simpleton" and even that one was apparently addressed to the skeptics. Perhaps you need to "listen" better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
