So you're pro-mask or anti-mask?

 

Seems you're complaining about both in this thread. 

 

Eh, never mind. You're just deeply unhappy.

Had some poor ***** painter tell me yesterday we have to suffer economically now cause thats what it takes to balance the budget.  I mean how do you talk to someone so stupid. 

If you’re unable to effectively communicate with an individual you disagree with, you likely need to improve your communication skills.  Part of your challenge in this case seems to be you’re starting with a rigid ideological position, you’re closed-minded, and unwilling to even consider the perspective of the other party.  You also seem to have a complete disregard for the other person’s occupation, which is unusual.  Do you have issues with all painters? 
 

Try respect as a default.  Open your ears, close your mouth.  Ask probing questions. Be purposeful in seeking  out common ground.  Disagree agreeably.  This will get you started.

You came to some absurd conclusions from my post cause you have the brain of a wooden post. Where did I say I look down on painters. Where did I say I don’t talk to this guy.  Get a grip and stop trying to create angles that have nothing to do with reality.  Maybe try to make a real argument and you can get started on your journey of talking to people you don’t agree with.  I read your garbage. You think you try to understand the other side?

While it seems you may have missed the intended spirit of my reply, I understand what you're saying.  Your perspective is different than mine, and divergent opinions make the world an interesting place.  I would like to offer some additional perspective to clarify my thoughts:

 

In response to my post, you said this: 

 

Where did I say I look down on painters.

 

I didn't say that, though I guess I can see why you feel I inferred it.  In your original post, you said:

"Had some poor ***** painter..."  and later described that individual as "...someone so stupid".  

 

On this message board, asterisks typically replace words that are considered derogatory, uncivil or offensive.  You defined the individual by his/her occupation, seemingly suggesting his occupation was relevant to being poor and *****.   I was uncertain if his/her being a painter was as important as him/her being poor, *****, or "stupid".  So, I asked.  Thank you for clarifying. 

 

As for 'creating angles', again, I think we're on the wrong track here.  In your initial post, you asked "I mean how do you talk to someone so stupid."  In response to this query, I shared some basic strategies on how you might talk to someone given how you positioned the interaction.  In spite of your characterizations, I feel comfortable I have a pretty solid skillset based on my life experience, understanding of course that seeking positive continuous improvement is part of the journey.  

 

Remember, make respect your default. The rest follows.
