Guest guest Posted April 6, 2001 Report Share Posted April 6, 2001 Hi JB, I've noticed two different " styles " of talking on these lists (referring to the " compassionate " ones only, not argumentation or egoistic discussions). Also assuming that with each person involved, there are two different ways of seeing things or " levels of understanding " : One of them seems to say, " Come over/ " up " here to my point of view, my level, and see things as I see them. " It's an invitation. The other seems to say, " I'll come over/ " down " there to your level, and explain things to you, the way you see them. " It's an offering. Most seem to stick with the first, a few go with the second, a very few respond entirely to the needs of the situation, employing either or both as the situation requires. Just 'as seen from here'.
