Sometimes the most trustworthy answer is to have your question deleted

And there are many ways that you could look at that.

How many times do we see this in conversations between humans, either real or virtual. Or how about in communication between a human and an organisation , or between organisations large and small. Between large ones or between small ones.

There are many ways someone or something that is communicating can play this game.

Trustworthy answers are a complicated topic.

Don't ignore what's being ignored

Changing the subject , just denying the reality of what was just said , obfuscation, sowing confusion, agression , escalation...

You can call it many things , but can you recognize it quickly and react to it the way you would want too instinctively? (An organisation could ask itself the same question remember)

I'm not sure , but I think I learned to be better at this once I noticed that ignoring what's being ignored was my mistake in that.

Because when something or someone outside of yourself chooses to ignore something, and that something is important to you... that should tell you a lot more than what was actually just said.

Think about how which ones of those two things are more trustworthy as a message.

And both those messages where given at the same time even though they only said one thing.

I also try not to forget what they didn't say.
