in thread So I'm in a bit of a quandary

Personally, this era of political correctness is starting to grate on me. A spade is a spade. Beating around the bush to spare someone's feelings (or avoid their wrath) is not productive.

I'm not saying that we should flay the person in a hail of ridicule. We have to be able to tell the truth and have people accept it in a dispassionate way. People need to learn to be more objective.

Sorry, I'll get of the soap box now...

Oh, I do agree, but being tactful does not mean beating around the bush. Being honest is not the same as being harsh.

Makeshifts last the longest.

Being honest is not the same as being harsh.

Unfortunately for some people hearing the truth will always be harsh.

Certainly, but that's not a free ticket for being tactless either.
