Signs of being Petty

8) Asking a person only tangentially involved in the conversation why they aren't defending you, or why aren't they attacking the person you're attacking.

I myself shall give the sign, idle talk.
It was written long ago, words of wisdom, petty talk.
In the realm where words take flight,
Where gossip whispers through the night,

In the echo chamber of petty talk,
Where wisdom often seems to walk.
In the garden of wisdom, there's much to learn,
Yet, often, some are pricked with the thorn of petty talk.

So, let's speak with care, and speak with purpose,
With wisdom and restraint, and speak with force.
For in the realm of petty talk, it's not just words we sow,
But seeds of wisdom, and seeds of growth.

1) Define tangentially in the context you are using it?

2) why did you leave out “asking a person why they are attacking you instead of another person(s)” in the exchange which they disapprove of

I care about the quality of the website... which may be petty of me.

@suzianne said
Thinking mainly of your own reputation doesn't mean you care about "the quality of the website".

The two do not go hand in hand.

@suzianne said
Tangentially, touching only briefly, as in one point.

@fmf said
It is your prerogative to disagree with what I think would be for the betterment of the website but I can assure you it is not motivated by my thinking of my reputation. Your projection is rooted in your own pettiness.

@divegeester said
Perhaps you could offer an example of this type of posting to which you are pointedly referring to?

@suzianne said
Nope.

I told you, I don't project.
