| 10 hours ago | comment | added | Questor | @Valleyhill Without context to place this behavior into a larger picture we can only guess at the whys/wherefores. And so we interpret it how / why we might say something, not knowing you or this third party. I for example prefer to see the world in positive light, and attribute actions that are harmful to me to be done on accident, out of ignorance, or at least with good intentions until I have evidence otherwise. This has served me well professionally. and more even more importantly in my personnel life. Assuming the best about people is freeing. | |

However, the real test is not complaining about it on the internet - next time he throws a quip your way, return with your own barb - if everyone laughs as well, then you will know it is Banter. | |
| 22 hours ago | comment | added | Valleyhill | Thanks for the feedback, I know what banter is but this example I gave was from a man who doesn't know me. It's also quite evident from a few responses I've had that I had to have a few examples of his behaviour "for context". As in women have to tolerate enough instances in order to build a case. The man didn't know me, he is building an untrue picture of me and banter is great, if you know the person more than a few weeks in a professional setting. | |
