Learning to be Diplomatic

— dushkin

The diplomat is a common creature with the ability to understand social situations, sense opportunity and support its own interests.

Anyway, my point is, it takes skill and understanding to get it right. The key to being diplomatic? Agree with everyone. Don’t express opinions unless you’re asked for one, and then just say you accept everything, but this is “just you.”

We all have ideas, we’re all radical in our own way (yes we are), the only question is how well we know to express it. This is especially important in a tiny little community, e.g. forums.

My suggestion: less is more. Nobody likes you if you have an opinion about everything, even if you’re right and say what they all think is true, you’ll always see more opposition than support - not because that’s the way it is, just because that’s the way of nature - social nature.I’ll quit internet forums at some point, just not now, just hold on there.
