When you consider how you deal with people in your life and on Y/A, do you find yourself being brutally honest or honestly brutal?

I posted this question because I was thinking of a few rare instances in which I was brutally honest with somenone. My intent was not to be brutal, but I realized that there can be instances where the brutality can serve to 'shock' a person into reality. I have actually had a person thank me for it afteward. Mind you. I don't resort to such tactics as a matter of habit, but only when I feel that the situation calls for it.

I was just curious if anyone else has ever had something like that happen and to see how honest a person can be with themselves. I will never know if you are or not, but you will.

If I can manage both, and be fairly amusing at the same time, I consider my job done.

Honest. Brutally honest if I have to be, but honest none the less. It's the only way to help people, isn't it

I try to stay on the lighter side. Even when I'm feeling brutal ... or honest.

Inflammatory?? No...

Enlightening? Yes...

Would good does it do to shut down someone's ability to receive a message that you have given time and effort to compose?

Its like putting a new deadbolt and door knob in and not being able to swing the door open...
