Ha, I saw the topic that brought you to post this. :p Anyways, I can be eloquent on certain things, but if someone really annoys me usually I don't take the time to be eloquent, and I just bluntly state what's on my mind.


I don't have any attachment to anyone here. It makes me even more blunt. When I start to find attachment to others, I express more concern for their well being.

So there you have it guys and gals. If I start to like any of you, you might see the softer more concerned about your well being side.

I ain't eloquent, I just run off at the mouth too much...;)

I can be either. I found blunt isn't always good for carreer advancement, tho...;)

I am both blunt and eloquent -- or rather, sometimes neither (when unable to use words, for instance), sometimes blunt (when able to use some words), and sometimes both blunt and eloquent at once (when able to use words in ways that give elaborate descriptions of what I mean, and also straightforward and direct). They're not opposites. I get a good deal of crap for combining the two, in fact! People seem to not like it if an opposing opinion is stated both directly and at detailed length for the reasons for it. (I actually prefer they be stated that way, personally, but I know not everyone can write in that way, so I don't take it personally if they can't.)

Eloquent. But to the point that people don't even realise what I am saying and instead interpret what I said and imagine an odd meaning into my words. Autistic people and non-autistic people alike.

Also blunt. People usually laugh and find it funny or awesome that I said it, because apparently I'm not blunt and rude, but blunt and eloquent.

I dare say I can't understand that well, but that's what people are saying anyway.
