About half of everyone I know (mostly the half from the Seattle area) thinks I should qualify everything I say with "But that's just what I think..."
The other half (mostly from Vermont, some from Los Angeles) thinks I should say whatever the fuck I want and if people can't deal with it that's clearly their own problem
I would have thought that it was evident that what came out of my mouth represented only my own thoughts
but then again, I am from Vermont originally.
I have no strong desire to irritate anyone
so I try to pay attention to how other people are responding to what I say, and if a disclaimer seems called for, I offer one.
Or I just don't say anything. Sometimes that is easier.
But that's just how I feel about it.
