3DOP, your quote on understanding first in dialogue

[Calm]

Rory (or anyone else),

IIRC awhile back you posted a great quote (and comments) about how our first obligation in dialoguing is to let the other speak for him/herself and to try and understand that position first and foremost.

I've searched for your post and I can't find it and would really love it (and it may be just something you said yourself that I really loved as I remember it being very well phrased), I could use it offboard.

Hey cal! I dont' recall it. It is so cool to say so many sharp things that I can't remember them all. Heh. Kidding. Lemme' think, and I'll look. Sounds like a theme that I would be playing with.

Thanks. You have said a lot of cool, sharp things.
