Words mean things. I often fail at finding the right words. Communication is difficult exactly because of what you outlined here.
I think this is why humans often get into such messy problems with each other.
I guess that the kind words are best to stick to and also phrases like, "in my opinion" or "with all due respect" (my favourite because maybe the person isn't due much respect but you're at least keeping the door open)
I have to say I'm tired of the isms floating around these days. Those words are losing all meaning and keeping people from talking to each other in an honest way. People stay silent rather than sharing opinions because they don't want labels stuck on them.
Writing to me is easier than talking. I can express myself because I have more time to think.
My comment is all over the place but it's been raining all afternoon and so I'm inside doing a lot of thinking and whatnot.
