Come on now... Being nice creates good karma, which pays off eventually, but being a d**k pays off now in satisfaction, yes?
Kidding.
The thing is, it is hard to determine "tone" from an online post, and a lot of the meaning comes from the reader's individual situation. So something that may seem innocuous to the person posting may be interpreted in a totally different manner by the reader.
Like others, I'm 100% against sugar coating the truth, and I think that's one thing that the coutry has gotten waaay wrong. If someone is offended by a post containing a true statement, said in a factual manner, that is the problem of the other person. That being said, there is no reason to be condescending when conveying what YOU believe to be the truth. Not to be confused with having an OPINION that differs from someone else. Each of us has our own opinions, and each is as valid as the next in our own minds. Just because I'm right doesn't de-value your opinion...
