Not that you fit in any of the things on the list, and by "waging war" I didn't mean that or anything bad, that was more of a joke b/c there isn't much war to be waged. But I guess what you mean about being straightforward is true, and remains true. I put those things up because they are things that bother me, regardless of who they come from. Now, for me to come up with them it's most probably because I know of somebody who has complained about them, or because we've discussed them in some class lately, or because something just brought it to my mind and I felt that type of behavior did bother me. But it's not like there's a person that I would actually attach to the list. I'm not pointing fingers, it's just that those things bother me, sometimes even with a passion.
Now, nothing would come from being straightforward and attaching names, because that's not the purpose of this post to begin with. It was more to have people see if they agree with those points, or disagree, or have anything to add. But by the looks of "I never claimed to be exempt from these faults", I get the feeling that what I replied to you makes it sounds as if I meant that you shouldn't talk unless you want me to attach your name to one, or something of the sort, and to be honest with you, and YOU, of all people, if you did something that bothered me, you'd definitely know it simply because I know you very well and we'd have a laugh and a half about it. Sorry it came out so bad.
Oh, and yeah, you should be straightforward about things when they pertain to specific people and it's something so personal between you and them that is worth mentioning ("you" as in me or anybody else), but this is just like a list of pet-peeves and things that you can see throughout. I know I'm guilty of several of them, we all are, because we're all sometimes late to things, or some of us chew ice, or we all tell white lies. But everything within its situational context is different. But when you talk about these in general, they do tend to get to me.
