I have no problem in being interrupted, if the person had already understood what I wanted to mean and then gives an answer in favour or against but has to be on the very discussion point. Those who interrupt without understanding irritates me a lot. I love to listen so I feel good when others give me a patient hearing.

If it's for a purpose then I have already written it in my post above, I don't mind listening to them and give a proper response..

The language has no script so they use Roman script for writing it.  I have never heard of Nagamese so far. Amazing that they use the Roman script. You have me wondering about the origins of the language itself. Its cool you can write in that language.    In fact all Naga tribes speak different languages so they have to use a common language while talking to each other, so they use Assamese Language mixed with different words from different Naga tribal languages and also few words from Manipuri, Bangla and Kuki (basically from Myanmar) language. But Nagamese sounds mostly like Assamese in general.

If someone is interrupt you for a purpose, how that purpose can be served without hearing what you said ?

I don't mind if someone is interrupting me for a purpose or mutual benefit but if it's a case of bullying .... just ask me via email how do I feel or what can I do in such a case. It would not be appropriate writing that in public forums.

One gets used to ways of a particular site after a while. I think you will be comfortable when you know how to extend/minimize and use Boddunan's tool bar according to your own choice.  I will lock this thread now.

By Listening,you are giving importance to what the other is saying. This in turn creates a good impression on the speaker that what he is saying is being given due weight by the listener. This is highly essential for an effective conversation.

People with low patience are generally bad listeners. They are terrible at listening and in hurry to react. These people are potential enough to spoil the essence of a great idea :) A good conversation demands time plus patience.

Wouldn't it be better to make changes that allow people to write better on article writing sites likes these? I am sure many of us would love to copy paste from some word processor or the other.    You can write on MS World but before transferring your article to Boddunan do it via Notepad, that's all. Please see you leave no spaces on top or bottom of the editor while submitting.  Thanks a ton.. that makes my life easy. I cannot read the text here without straining my eyes. I got a headache yesterday trying to proof read and edit my article.  Instead, you can directly use Boddunan text editor which is far easy.

The best way to avoid those Bulldozers is turn away and look elsewhere. This gives an indication that you are also paying him with the same coin.

Normally we listen to what others talk, think about it and respond. All these things happen within a fraction of a second and it appears that we do not listen before responding. It is because our mind is so powerful. When you are with your friends sharing some relaxed moments, you exchange perfect dialogues, tit for tat, but without the difference of a second.

That's what I do exactly. I think in Telugu, my Mother tongue and convert them to English. I use the same method for writing my articles here.

I used to write better in my mother tongue Malayalam. For me it is more comfortable than English. And I think in most of us thoughts originate in our mother tongue and we convert them to English simultaneously.

The funny thing is some people latch on to a word and take off kin tangents. They speak so much that you forget what the original conversation was all about. I have a neighbor who hijacks all conversations.
