When you are, it’s just firmness.
When the other fellow doesn’t like your friends, he’s prejudiced and narrow minded.
When you don’t like his friends, you are simply showing you’re a good judge of human nature.
When the other fellow tries to treat someone especially well, he’s buttering them up.
When you do the same game, you’re using tact.
When the other fellow picks out flows in things, he’s cranky.
When you do, you are discriminating and just be careful.
When the other fellow says what he things, he’s spiteful.
When you do, you’re just plain spoken.
