People out here get into too many pointless arguments in bad situations because they feel like rambling is the way to avoid fighting. You're prolonging things. Unless you're trying to convert someone, less is more. Wrong Speak Publishing is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
Love reading your writing. Don't get excited. Substack is still in my "Social Media Crap" phone folder, so there. I run into situations fairly often and recently have used "Did I do something to disrespect you?" with one foot planted behind and a right punch prepped behind my back. Have gotten amazing results. The local mental patient wandering the streets bugging for cigarettes was left speechless! Anyway, thanks. Might move Substack out of "Social Media Crap" folder just because of you. Don't go swooning on me.
Not sure you and I would have hung out much, but I can pretty much guarantee you would have made one of my leadership teams...https://clownbasket.substack.com/p/the-trouble-with-being-smart?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2
I think if you dug in deeper you might reconsider that lol. That said, thank you for the compliment
Yeah, maybe you are right. Maybe we would have hung out. ;)
Well played
I like it Mr. Coleman. A lot of people can benefit from this advice, let’s see if they listen.
I find that people don't understand that being aggressive, when done correctly, can oftentimes be the best way to avoid being violent.
Great insight and practical advice. I like this Wrong Speak vibe. Subscribed. Thanks.

Thank you, sir, for sharing your knowledge. You are a very wise person.
