I can be, if I'm dealing with a particularly unintelligent individual. I feel bad, yeah, but I can't seem to control my wise-ass tendencies.

I couldn't be bothered Grisha...I'm glad it works for you, but for me I'm usually doing my best to explain why things are not going as well as they could...which is due to political nonsense or incompetence of those involved...there usually isn't a palatable way to express this

But that is just in meetings...it happens in life generally. What I don't get is how I can be consistently told that I speak with a monotone voice but somehow there is emotional attachment to my statements. How can I speak in such a manner but then be told that its not what I say that is offensive but how I say it?! F#ck!

Well i'm mostly a very calm and soft person who you can't get mad fast. Though when i have a meltdown i'm a total mess and a real as*hole, i'll curse and do anything to make my point.But i don't like hurting people, it just happens sometimes.

Yes I am. Only to certain people when I feel they deserve it and I am opinionated.

Plus even my anxiety will make me one. I will not dummy that up for myself by saying I am not a b***h or not an as*hole because of the anxiety. I just say I am because I say it the way it is. I will not be PC with myself because I am just being honest with myself.

OMFG, that happens to me all the time - whining about how I said something which was otherwise unoffensive is NT nonsense that I simply don't tolerate - you have to draw the line somewhere...

I'm very social and I can seem very cocky to people who don't know me well. So I guess I am an as*hole.

What if the person, instead of whining, told you in a straightforward way that he or she felt affronted?

^ I'm sure that in some languages if you say the same word in a different tone it has a completely different meaning. I don't see the difference with English, how you say things is very important

Of course. And I found it amusing that Grisha used the word 'whinig,' which describes tone and inflection, to criticize people who make judgments according to tone and inflection.

I'm not going to bash Grisha, I think he is super cool but I did just smile when i saw your observation of the irony, I can't lie :)

OK complaining then - I used "whining" to convey pettiness, but whiners definitely have their own very distinctive tone and inflection - but I insist that Doug and Wendy were NT's!
