clarentineLet's just say that I've been advised, through hearsay, that staying silent on a particular topic is perceived as being part of the problem related to that topic - that only by speaking up against the problem can I be perceived as part of the solution.
I have an answer to that bit of advice: FAIL
Regardless of how I feel about the problem - which, you'll note, I have not addressed and am not going to address - the one thing guaranteed to dig my heels in and push me in the opposite direction is telling me I have to do something.
Really, if you want to change the way people behave toward one another, you could do better than to use the same tactics you're bitching about.
FAIL.
