I guess it's like me telling somebody (my son?) that he is doing something 'really stupid' (way of thinking about running out in the street from between 2 parked cars) it sounds to him like I'm calling him stupid(even though my intent was not toward him directly but his line of thought). Well, I've been told by many 'EXPERTS' in counseling ect that you just can't say to somebody that they're acting like an idiot or doing something stupid because then, essentially I am calling them stupid or idiot. Maybe they're right as it never generates the right response. One Example? Seen in this thread performed by SmartyPants.
LOL- I'm sure it helps little if you pick a name like SmartyPants then mouth off like that whether defensive or not.
