I just saw this- when I wrote "speak up", I certainly didn't intend for it to sound like make a fuss, start a fight, or anything like that.Maybe more something along the lines of "I was offended by xyz. ", or something like, "I was offended by xyz, perhaps I misread, can you clarify?", "I am concerned by your word xyz because...", or contacting administration to express. Perhaps there is a confidential way to do the latter, if someone doesn't wish to post publically?.
But I don't wish to go in circles, perhaps even aggrevating each other over this- just wanted to clarify what I meant by term "speak up". When I think about it, I wonder if it might conceivabley have, in some usage or readings, wild sounding "rally-rousing" connotations that I didn't intend.
> > I like what laima said about people speaking up when they are offended. I would like to know if I offend someone! I think that people should speak up, and be trusted to speak up. That would be a good rule - if you're offended, speak up. But of course be "civil"....but thank you cloudydaze- I agree with you, too.
