When reception is essential, one will have to vary their approach actively, but how often that is needed is dependent upon the individual and situation. In such cases, one usually has to avoid the cliche of "religion and politics," as well, which, unfortunately, now involves almost everything, even sports and the weather. However, very few things here at GSUS have successful reception being essential, especially since most of those who are or would be "offended" are disingenuous or even outright enemy operatives.
* when someone tells you to "be nice," always remember that "nice" comes from a root meaning stupid - Origin and Etymology of nice - Middle English, foolish, wanton, from Anglo-French, silly, simple, from Latin nescius ignorant, from nescire not to know — more at nescience
