What advise would you give to someone who takes things TOO FAR or even TOO LIGHTLY?


And what about someone like me who often craves and demands from ordinary folks, mostly online (but occasionally in life too), polite, convenient and diplomatic approaches to some or other issues and not talks on the order of "Eww, look at how sh*t etc it is" or "You think like this? You're wrong!" etc, doesn't matter the topic.

And also...

Yes, I know some things are frowned upon in general. But in other examples, it is not considered too wrong to speak ill, foul and over the top about some thing or someone etc. But also... What about cases, well, yeah still bad and wrong and illegal, but potentially, and for UNDERSTANDABLE reasons, not too off-putting for others, what advice and with what APPROACH can you give it?

And can you refer to stuff other than law (even if we don't disagree, and we do agree with the system, we're not necessarily talking about vigilante justice here etc) and common emotions, and again, do it in ways that are even potentially fun, heck, in some movies and with some themes, people do it anyway and no one bats an eyelid, in others, you see many rile about it, and there are apparent cruel ironies in life too.

And can you or should you DEMAND balance? And if others refuse and start going "Yeah troll or yeah fool etc" - accept and move on, or react back?

Anyways...

I'm probably the wrong person to give you advice on this. *ähem*
So I'll just quote what our mother liked to say:

"Daughter, there's no need to curse like an old sailor to get your point across."
And even though I'm still 'good' at swearing, our late mother was/is simply right. 😳​
