How to Prevent Talking without Thinking

[ajaxfetish]

Apologies are always an acceptable way to follow up an unintentional slight. If he chooses not to accept, that's his problem.

Looks like CW was too shy to talk anything now... BTW, I was his junior at univ, so I can clarify something... hope this helpful for him...

You didn't know it was his work. You can't be blamed for insulting him directly. If he takes offense to that, then that's his problem, not yours.

Yeah, the problem is Cutewolf say "that program is bloody poor quality and useless" (and using rather technical, not offensive language), in front of many lecturers and students. And most of them know that the program was made by that man. I heard that he was doing that while he (Cutewolf), present his research report, and he blame that program's result as pretty useless, and he compare that program with another program. Well, that was nothing wrong with this.... except he then said that "this program is useless, and we should use another program for XRD refinement". Causing everyone to laugh at the program maker...

Dramatics aren't suited for Methuselah.


If you called him an idiot, then he is obviously offended. Apologize if you want, or ignore it.

After knowing that the program was made by his fellow student, of course he appologize, but that man start to yelling offensive words and hatred toward him.

Well, that's the problem... Academically, he doesn't doing anything wrong, and actually he does a good credit on that presentation, but his words about the "bloody uselessness" of that man's program, made that man (not CW)'s research points get heavy penalty because of that. And he still refuse to forgive CW on that matter...
