Greavsie, 100% there mate...Written word is a poorer way to communicate! esp as you also said if you find it hard to write things down and express yourself, I have always said we are not Authors, yes some are better than others but some are not. Does that make sense.Sometimes people stating what they feel or believe may come across to the reader, if they have differing views, as dishonest.
That could be down to the fact that they may actually be dishonest, or may not have the vocabulary or writing skills to get thier point over, or the reader misinterpreting their message, or the reader fundamentally not agreeing with their point of view.
Not easy ....as we cannot look into each others eyes online, as the eyes tell us a lot about the meaning of what they are saying, and we cannot hear how they say it, so do not detect the intonations of their voices.
That is why posts and emails can become so emotive, be misinterpreted and lead to all sorts of reprisals.
Written word is the poorer way to communicate
In my opinion of course..
Whilst in the Military one of the things I learnt from a young age, regards views/opinions, we are all different, move on its his/hers etc, who's round is it?
Like the question....what's your opinion on this? when asked! my reply is always... do you want an honest opinion? or one that suits you?
