?? Think First ... and think again

What I mean is ...

• there is no reason to respond immediately except in an emergency
• most often we do not have all the facts
• verify information when you don't have first hand or the information source is unknown
• before responding/reacting consider what you are about to say and how it CAN or WILL be misinterpreted
• revise your response -or- preface your response in advance

Examples

1. responding to text, email letter
2.
