Aug 16, 2017 at 5:17 | comment | added | Wildcard | @jpmc26 it was I who said the latter—not the article. And it was rather hyperbolic. I think mostly people don't even try. I also think the point of the article is to encourage people TO try. | |
Aug 16, 2017 at 5:09 | comment | added | jpmc26 | @Wildcard I did, but while it did bemoan that we don't talk about such things politely anymore, it didn't really seem to make the connection between, "We don't practice this much anymore," and, "People seem incapable of it nowadays." ;) (Admittedly, I read it after posting my comment, but I decided against deleting it because of that.) | |
Aug 16, 2017 at 4:50 | comment | added | Wildcard | @jpmc26 agreed on both counts. I wonder if you read the article, as the content somewhat belies the title. | |
Aug 16, 2017 at 2:06 | comment | added | BSMP | @therxv Try to focus on the change in his behavior, particularly the changes that seem specific to you. So don't just say, "You joke with others but not me" but "You used to joke with me but I noticed you've stopped. Since you do still joke with others I'm wondering if I've done something wrong." | |
Aug 16, 2017 at 0:06 | comment | added | jpmc26 | @Wildcard I feel like telling people not to talk about those issues with people they disagree with will only make that problem worse. It's something that takes practice. But not wanting to risk your job over it is certainly reasonable. | |

Aug 15, 2017 at 19:26 | comment | added | Wildcard | Good answer. Recalls to mind "On Religion & Politics, or What Not to Discuss at a Dinner Party." Sadly, people have become virtually incapable of discussing strongly held opinions in a respectful manner. | |
