Opinion and Perception

This is a response to a localized topic and opinion which is currently under debate, and a little bit of a lesson in human nature.


With the hotly debated topics in today's tournament scene comes the name calling, the hate and general douche-baggery of human nature... Or so you think.
Much of the hotly debated topics comes with a "fog of war" so to speak, each side whether in argument, negotiation, or even friendly talks. The actual point or facts become misconstrued and warped. The result is an unclear response, agreement, or decision, whether by misinterpretation or by lack of clarification.

If you’re lost let me explain.

Say side "A" has made a comment about side "B", and it is side "A"s nature to be somewhat satirical and sarcastic, it is also side "A"s intention to help and support side "B" with outside opinion that side "B" may not be aware of. Side "B" has also misinterpreted the opinion of side "A" and has since insulted side "A". Side "A" realizing what has happened responds with apologies and clarification. Side "B"s response is yet to be determined.

So basically the opinion expressed was perceived differently than expected. Maybe both sides need to give a little, one to be more clear, and the other to not take things so seriously and not to give the other side's opinion so much weight.
