    I think we all have a duty to communicate ethically moreso than to communicate clearly. People are used to hearing the partial version of NPD because of cultural stigma. We know more than them, and that means we have a duty to educate them.

      Uh, the whole point of communication is clarity, otherwise you’re just making noises. Communication requires that the recipient understands the intended message.

        Communicating clearly is also important. But communicating ethically is more important. Like most people, I’d rather be called a nice word I don’t know than a homophobic slur I understand perfectly well. Wouldn’t you?

            And my mother said if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. Communicating ethically is more important than communicating at all.
