"If I piss you off, let me know. Confrontational conflict resolution is healthy. Effective interpersonal relationships begin with breaking down barriers to openness and honesty."
Yes, please. The world needs more of this. Not the passive-aggressive nonsense that seems to have flooded every corner of our lives. It might be confrontational, but I've always seen /constructive/ conflict as healthy. Necessary, even.
I sincerely believe Gen-X is uniquely capable of doing just that - solving or at least living with interpersonal differences and squabbles to achieve the overall goal. In a traumatic childhood, that overall goal is survival! So I think we got really good at not sweating the small shit right?
One of the reasons I've been an enthusiastic supporter since the days of Dooly's Den is that we have so little in common. I'm constantly amazed by how much I learn from you.

We did indeed.

Bill,
That is probably the kindest compliment on my writing that I have received. Thank you.
