I don't know about everyone else, but I've found that if I'm truly wanting to have a discussion about something, it's counter productive to open with, "I don't care if I offend you - listen up!" That generally tends to make people a bit defensive.

Also, your username confuses me. Are you close to having a mind (but not there yet!), thus making you Close-Minded? Or did you mean to say you're ClosedMinded? I don't think I'd admit to being closed minded - it's not something to be proud of.

I agree. I hate disclaimers in verbal and written communication. It sets the tone and shapes how people receive the message. Just say what you need to say and let others determine whether (insert common disclaimers).

I guess you all have decided this isn't a sockpuppet and the discussion is worth replying to. LOL.

I thought it was a joke.
