You know... I could have sworn I... Oh right, I did.
Twin, it is not my problem or fault that you believe that the statements I made regarding legendary members applied to you. Granted given the context I can see how you could feel that way, but as I did say I was speaking of five or six individuals if you truly believed that what I said didn't apply to you you would have been able to shrug off the statement. In actuality, your behavior has improved immensely from the way you used to act, so I'm not even entirely sure why you felt I was talking about you.
Especially when you remember that Private Message I sent you regarding reports nearly a year ago.
The only part of what I posted that I was thinking of you when I posted it would be this:
And the only reason I thought of you was because it was a direct response to this:
In response to this little gem, yeah no you're wrong. If you were ONLY upfront, then you'd be correct. You haven't been in the past though, you were generally upfront and abusive simultaneously.
Being upfront does not also require being abusive.
Take what I'm doing now, for instance. I am being direct (pun unintended), but I'm not calling you names, putting you down, or even talking to you like you are a child.
Being abusive does not deter drama, it encourages it. When someone is being passive aggressive, it is because they want you to get frustrated with them and become the aggressor so that they can play the victim. When you are abusive to such an individual, you give them what they want and then they get to feel justified as they talk smack behind your back, eventually culminating in a massive dramatic crapstorm.
When you are direct with a passive aggressive person without being abusive, they usually still try to talk smack about you but nobody listens to them because they can't play the victim card. There may be some minor drama as they decide to leave forever because, "wah nobody likes me" but the dramatic crapstorm I spoke of earlier is avoided.
