I'm, eh, not super good with blunt speech. If you're more the type to speak bluntly, and if you can, please try to talk in a more roundabout or pleasant way. Compliment sandwiches I find to be super helpful. Usually when I read something that's blunt it comes across as cold, forceful, or uncaring.
This doesn't mean that you are required to talk differently just to accommodate me, however. I understand that editing the same mistakes over and over again generally leads people to be more callous or to write in a more blunt way simply out of the necessity to save time. I try to work on being generous with what is written and assume best intention, but I recognize that I have shortcomings.
I have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in real life, so feel free to make of that what you will. I find it funny and amusing when people talk like the internet has made people behave like they have ADD or ADHD (it hasn't). That being said, I may suffer from Wikipediholism.
P.S. I am open to jokes of any kind on my userspace, but please restrict them to the user talk page.
