If those "people" aren't named Connor, Declan, or Ronan, then I'm not responsible for how they act in this world...

So, to answer your question, no, I don't.

Thanks for your perspective, and groiny as well. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 13:21

- with grown adults? I doubt anything I say is going to change anyone's opinion or mind on anything. -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 13:26 4
  - Turn it around though - are there people that you look up to as a model? Someone who, if they say something that you disagree with at first glance, - Roger More Jun 29, 13:37 2
    - depends on the conversation, really. - groiny Jun 29, 13:40 1
      - But even if you're not in the conversation. Like, there are people here who are really good at defusing a conflict, even when it's directed at them - Roger More Jun 29, 13:50
  - 1) you'd be surprised at what a polite intervention can do 2) it doesn't have to happen in one fell swoop. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 13:28
- Uh...I agree, but what you say here is not what znu was asking. -- nm - SGTAmerica #TeamCap Jun 29, 13:21 13
  - Maybe different by a hair, but not much. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 13:23 12
    - So the speaker is always responsible for how their words are interpreted by each individual that hears them? - SGTAmerica #TeamCap Jun 29, 13:27 11
      - I think you've got to be aware of it. Someone who likes me is going to have a very different view of what I say than someone who doesn't. - Roger More Jun 29, 13:40 5

        For me, it depends on context. Like, on HSX there's a guy who complains continually about Ghostbusters every time it comes up, how it's going to bomb, - Roger More Jun 29, 13:56
        
        depending on what you say, sure. - Mel Profit Jun 29, 13:52
        
        I can print you out a badge too, if you'd like. :) -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 13:48
        
        Or at least you should be able to... - SGTAmerica #TeamCap Jun 29, 13:45
      - Communication requires both a speaker and a listener. It is quite possible for a speaker to communicate something to a listener that the speaker - TWuG Jun 29, 13:34
      - I wouldn't say to each individual, no, but in regards to the cultural impact in a collective sense, yes. - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 13:32
      - there is some responsibility on the part of the speaker to communicate in a way that the listener will truly hear the message. -- nm - Andie Jun 29, 13:30 1
        
        lol -- nm - Trump Jun 29, 13:31
      - weighted for the effect of the speaker, absolutely. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 13:28
