I was having some discussion with some mods on different things and I thought that I ask you guys these two questions
How do you treat people.
Do you take their statements at face value or you try to read between the lines.
Also, do you ignore someone's rude comment cause that person is 'dil ka achcha' or no
Hmmmm, It's a tough question to answer because I also think it depends upon the person you're dealing with. If someone has usually has a very direct way of communicating, then their comments are more likely to be taken at face value. If someone has a more subtle way of communicating, you'd have to read between the lines.
I use both methods depending on the situation. Sometime direct, sometimes mixed with subtle.
Question # 2. Sometimes I ignore dumb comments from those with an "acha dil" and even from those with "bura dil" ...LOL. It depends on what the person has said to me. If their comment is very offensive, I wont ignore it. If they are displaying a consistent/repetitive pattern of obnoxious behavior....after a few times of tolerance....I wont' ignore it.
*1. Do you take their statements at face value or you try to read between the lines. *
Read between the lines if the hints seem obviously directed towards someone or a group and has a negative accusatory tone. Of course hints might mean something to some people and nothing to others.
**2. Also, do you ignore someone's rude comment cause that person is 'dil ka achcha' or no.
**Ignore nothing.
If written information is being received by the site, then actual action needs to be taken by the management for the posting(s) that change the site's culture.
Unpleasantries allowed by a few can/will spread and can change the entrainment and 'fun' aspect of GS, if not controlled.
I dont really take anyone just at face value. In my experience, most people dont say what they mean and/or mean what they say. So you have to listen to what they say and then collate it with who/what/how they are in order to really understand.
As far as rude comments...I dont know what 'dil ka achcha' is. But when a rude comment is made to me, I almost invariably ignore it. I hate being confrontational, I hate high stress and/or high drama situations and do whatever I can to avoid such. And I keep telling myself that perhaps one day when I'm a mean ole crotchety lady the favor will be returned. INSHALLAH!!!!
...hmmm I think I have to clarify a bit here. I think I do much better at defending myself and my point of view when I'm online. My fingers are so much more brave than my mouth!!!
Finding out the reason why someone is acting bitter can help us develop more tolerance and understanding toward the person.
But if this person is REPEATEDLY acting in an idiotic manner, then one’s compassion and patience in seeing the “good in others” can wear thin.
Also, actions speak louder than words. There are people who speak politely but their actions don’t match up with their words. So, that can be an indication that one should be careful around such a person.
As far as rude comments...I dont know what 'dil ka achcha' is.!!
dil ka achcha means, he/she has a good heart.
Thing is, if some one cannot put two words properly without being rude, sarcastic or blunt, what good there heart is. Having bitter experience in life does not give you a right to be bitter to people.
Personally, I wouldn't ignore what someone says to me just because they are dil ke ache. I'd be cordial with them whenever I meet them but I would always keep in mind what they've said or done to me. As far as taking someone on face value is concerned all i'm gonna say is: Looks can be deceptive :@:
