    Well, don’t be surprised if people have a bad response to someone being rude/blunt/argumentative.

    If you want to change minds you’re going to need to work on social skills, too.

    Based on what you said your goal is I think you’re going to need to grow a thicker skin if you don’t plan on changing your approach, or you’ll need to work on your presentation and conversation skills if you want a more positive reaction from people.

      Rude, blunt and argumentative, eh? And change minds? I think we have different kinds of conversations.

      No, I just want a nice conversation.

      I find aggressive pruning makes the bush bloom better.

        Nice conversation takes conversation skills, or finding people that already think like you do. Based on this conversation it sounds like you’d prefer the latter.

        I’m guessing I’m getting pruned, so have a good one buddy 👋
