A couple of times here, I've run into guys who find nice really annoying. It was useful for me to be a good bit blunter than unusual with them, and I'm inclined to believe that the experiment in flexibility was good for me.

The problem, I think, is that nice involves such a light touch that for some people, it fails to make contact.

I like nice. I prefer nice. And I think it's got some very definite limits.
