Rude or Blunt?

My point was that it's ironic, stated in that same post. Also that it's funny, again stated in that same post.

Seeing how everyone who's posted in here so far falls on the blunt side of the fence I'm curious to see what the people who arent blunt post as a response. Seeing as it's 1:30 am here I'll have to wait until tomorrow cause Im going to bed. 🙂

Sleep well, you stupid f*cking b*tch! In the morning, I'm sure you'll find all the mass dribbles of 'mouth water' that your stinking heart desires.

...And that, ladies and gentlemen, was another example of rudeness - not bluntness - for the people who still fail to see the difference between the two.

I fall on both sides of the fence on this one. I can be brutally honest with someone, and they'd be offended by it. It is not my intention for them to be hurt, but pointing out the flaws in oneself is a way to better that person.

Example, recently in the Signature forum I told someone that their signatures were bland and consisted of only a stock image with very simple text placed over it, and said person made it a big issue of me vs. him/her.

However, my bluntness can eventually turn into rudeness, which it does often. The only ones I am truly rude to are the people whom I do not like. It's the same as being blunt, but with snide comments thrown in.

So my verdict is that they are the same, but different wording. 1 to help someone, 1 to offend.

This conclusion makes absolutely no sense. You say that they are the same, then you define the differences between the words. Well, duh...This means they aren't the same.

Please come again.

They are the same, both point out flaws, but one uses these flaws to offend someone, but the other uses these flaws to better someone.

Just because I say they are the same, doesn't mean they are 100% alike.

Wait, so something can be the same but not 100% alike? Bit of an odd, and wrong, view.

If a white cup and a black cup are the same model, but different colour, they're not the same. Almost, but not.

You've just stated the difference in their definition again! Also, the word 'blunt' has no altruistic facet.

It seems that you're making up new meanings for words that already have an exisiting meaning: "Uh, today I'm going to start saying 'apples' are actually 'pears', even though everyone else knows them to be 'apples'...dum-de-dum...".

Perhaps you should concentrate on learning the meaning of a word like 'same' before you move on to applying it to different words.

Meh, I never claim to be a genius. I know what I'm trying to get at, but I worded it wrong.

Let's try again: They are alike, but not 100%.

Better?

See above...

So, ultimately, they are still different.

I knew it! I was right all along...

<--- King of bluntness. Am I rude sometimes? Probably in some peoples opinion. Not a concern of mine though, it's never my goal to be rude.

nope they are not the same!

I've always thought of blunt as direct without the main goal of being mean. Blunt, for me, is to "tell it like it is," but still keeping the listener's feelings in mind. In fact, being blunt with some people can actually be a sign of respect for that person, or that you feel comfortable enough with them, on good enough terms with them, where you don't have to treat them as weak or like a child or moron.

Rude is mean, selfish, immature, a sign of a very small and insecure mind.

It's kinda like the difference between assertive and aggressive, the latter, unfortunately, being the quality that is seen as more admirable ("In yer face!"😉 and encouraged in our society.

Screencapped and sent to his Razness ( after once again it's been proven that reporting a post only works for "certain" people ), thank you for playing. 🙂

And Mind I tend to agree with that.

You're aware he only said that as an example, right? I sincerely hope you're joking.

It's quite simple; being blunt is being truthful despite the consequences, while being rude is...being rude, isn't it? Doesn't require a dictionary.

The only subtlety is that you can be rude by being blunt.

But then report someone making a joke or even responding to what she asked for...well, I guess some people do take themself too serious.

Example or not, that was over the top and uncalled for AC he could have made his point another way.
And Bardock, nice to know you've been paying attention to my posts. How long have you been lying in wait to quote me? 😂 That's sad man.

Yeah I am sure it is sad. Or maybe, just maybe, you are a hypocrit.....oh, and just so you know, that was blunt, not rude.

Actually that wasn't even blunt, but since you don't know what they mean...who cares.

He didn't mean what he said though, JP. He said in that same post that he was making an example.

You're reporting him to Raz because you dislike the way he made a point? If he gets banned or even warned for that, it's stupid. He was making a point.
