To know if someone can speak offensively or politely, don’t give him poem to recite; don’t give him a song to sing. Just engage him in an argument and you will know it for yourself who he is.

About This Quote

When someone is offensive or rude, it can be difficult to know why. If you want to find out if someone is rude or offensive, you need to engage him in an argument. You can ask him questions, but you need to ask him questions that are more aggressive than polite. Do not give him the chance to deliver a poem or sing a song. Ask him about something contentious and prove to him that he was wrong.
