Or do you hope you hurt their feelings and offend them?

I try not to give cruel answers. I've been given a few and it hurt my feelings a bit. I try to be honest but sometimes it may hurt someone's feelings. I haven't been told that I've hurt any feelings so maybe I haven't. I'd say that a little tact goes a long way. Then again, I think some people just don't care and say mean things because they don't have the intelligence to answer questions. It makes them feel important to answer questions in a cruel way. That's what I think.

When I answer someone I hope to enlighten them a bit, sometimes an answer seems to need to be more harsh than others, kinda like a rude awakening.
I try to feel out the type of person asking the question, and try to get the feel for the age level too. Sometimes younger askers tend to need more blunt answers, but I still try to be tactful. I never intend to offend, and if I do I am very sorry. Just like to help.
I do notice that some on here are just mean or ridicule the askers without considering their feelings, and I just hope the askers realize that those peeps are just shallow, and probably fear the things that are actually being asked.

Since only ignorant people would give harsh, cruel answers, that is really a dumb question. I think answering someone,s question is a responsibility one takes on to give a thoughtful, applicable answer or not answer at all. Common sense must be missing somewhere and I hope someone finds it.

I think harsh, cruel answers aren't thought through very well.
However, a lot of my answers can be considered harsh and cruel, because I dish out a healthy dose of reality for people who are WAY too set in their ways. And in that case, I don't mean to offend. I mean to wake people up to reality.

I give harsh, cruel (albeit warranted) answers only when I feel they're necessary (usually for "fake" questions that I know for a fact are not real questions). I hope they offend the asker.

in some circumstances i imagine maximum men are sociopaths by technique of lady criteria. Or, in evaluation, fairly autistic (no offense to people affected by autism). like the guy who stated: "I regularly attempt now to not get to emotional about issues, its purely a buzz kill in my innovations." pal became basically being worry-free. Empathy is more effective realized than we assume of. Ever considered slightly one pull an animal's tail? Or chortle at the same time as she pushes yet another baby round, because she`s made some form of impact and were given a reaction? i imagine diverse men not in any respect improve out of that. that's more effective sturdy to achieve traditionally male targets once you're empathetic. They get punished for it. reason they socialise themselves, with their %.-innovations.

I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings even if they hurt mine. Sometimes (like 1 out of 10 times) I can't help the temptation though...I'm only human.

i don't ever intentionally try to hurt another's feelings from the answers I give them. If it does, them I'm sorry, but they asked and I was just giving my honest opinion. If it hurts their feelings then they shouldn't be asking the question.

The only times I have given harsh answers were to idiots that asked really rude and moronic questions... so it didn't bother me a bit...
