I just had to give an apology a few minutes ago, and think I used some of those deflectors. I’m happy, however, that I was genuine–whether the person I apologized to was aware of it, I realized I didn’t want to “do that” again. On being the recipient of many apologies, I love your logical breakdown and found it to be sound and true. Thanks!

and he closed the conversation with

“well, bad talking to you i guess”

it was very true, and a lot more honest – that this hadn’t been a “good” conversation at all – than so many things we say

language is a strange and complex beast

1) That’s who I am, if people don’t like me, then that’s fine but I won’t pretend to be someone else.
2) You have to be the change you want to see in the world.
3) Only once people get full responses will they stop asking daft rhetorical questions.
