[Blindtlk] Making a Difference, (Cont.): Bringing the right attitude out

[Mark Tardif]

I agree.  I suppose it might sound like some of us are ganging up on you a 
little, but I don't understand what happened either.  And frankly, that 
response on your part sounds rather arrogant and way to selfcongratulatory, 
and for what?

Agreed, I’m really not understanding what went on here. How did you make a 
difference if you just asked her to move? What’s the point of being polite 
if you’re going to tell the person how polite you were?
