Re: NLP Puzzle



This list is fun!

OK here are the ones I notice...

What list specifically are you talking about?

Who is it fun for?

How does one have fun with the list?

In response to Patrick's post on what my reaction to a sentence like
this would be, for this sentence in particular, I would just make
assumptions that they were talking about NLPTalk, and that it was fun
for them because they were the ones saying the sentence.  I might ask
what they thought was fun about it...

I agree that these questions can seem a bit too probing and cold if you
ask them in the wrong ways.  When I notice a violation and I think its
something important to ask about, I usually try to soften the question,
with words and tonality so that it does not come off as irritating.  If
you just ask the person in a cold tonality "How specifically does the
list allow you to have fun?" it would be easy to irritate someone.  But
if you say "Yeah I think this list is fun too, I like to be able to
discuss NLP with others...what do you think is fun about it?" in a warm,
curious tonality, you will be much better off, IMO.
