I suspect that most arguments about whether it's better to be honest-and-blunt with friends/loved ones or delicate-and-hint-y -- especially online -- end with the honest-and-blunt side saying "look, not telling people the truth is passive-aggressive and manipulative and I hate it," and the delicate-and-hint-y lapsing into (often snarky) silence.

I find this hilariously ironic, in an inevitable kind of way.

(To clarify: This observation is after seeing several large Internet discussions of the dichotomy -- to those of you with whom I have personal conversations on the topic, please know that I have been pleased by how non-judgemental and even-handed -- and funny and enlightening -- those conversations have been, and I'm not talking about you. Okay, disclaimer over.)
