Fed UP
How often do people talk to us in code? They have an intention, but they try to cloud or cover it in rhetoric. A perfect example is the obnoxiously directing request “why don’t you?”

 

In superficial code this means “I want you to do the following, right now!”

Well, I’m fed up. I’m no longer going to play along.  I’m either going to respond with an uncoded No, procrastinate, or just not do it. I’m just fed up!

What do you think?

I think that’s a wise strategy.

I’ve always been direct with you :)

Clearly you are learning networking from the film, Network. “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.” I’m with you, prefer straightforward communication.
Paul Napolitano

Try “I would, but I don’t want to“. Then watch their brains sizzle a bit.
Vincent Russo

my friendly suggestion is to "Chill Out". Not that i don't agree with you that whey can we talk in a straightforward way with each other. But there are more important things going on that you can be FED UP ABOUT!
Fred - thanks for always making us think.
have a great weekend all - Be Safe and Be Well

If you suggest it, own it. That's my commentary from the back seat lol

My two cents......be honest, and say what you feel!

You’re the best gentle nudger! You give great suggestions without the “ you shoulda” I appreciate that!!

Or you can always answer with the very obnoxious, "Because."
Dan Schwartz

I like the direct approach with an added "Please" in front of the direct request.
