A smart speaker reaches nearly 100% of her audience by the very simple trick of sticking to the subject, and not making stupid jokes, and not excluding part of the audience.

Really..? Would you indicate an unfamiliar woman on the other side of the room and ask a friend, “Who’s that guy?”

If you communicate to a crowd, you have to see from their perspective. Since a crowd is a lot of people, you can’t see from everyone of their perspectives so the 80/20 rule gets applied. If the 20% get offended, you can usually mark that up to either intent or laziness/economics of time. If you’re watching TV with your girl/boyfriend and the show is somehow gender specific, you will often realise that the ads don’t target you. 80/20. some play jokes on the other gender, some could even be seen as offending.

Under no circumstances! They should always be handled with the utmost care.

So .. wouldn’t that be the best possible ending for this long list of comments?

He’s an adult and doesn’t require anyone to come to his rescue or his defense, especially when no one is trying to hurt him. In fact, I believe it is just the opposite. People are trying to help him as well as improve the overall health of this community.
