Hello, fellow abductees,

It has come to my attention that a number of you do not like Dr. Sweets. I did not like him either when I first met him, so this is understandable.

In an effort to help strengthen his standing within the community, I am requesting that you please state if you do or do not like Dr. Sweets, and why. Please also respond if you are indifferent on him, as more data will allow me to form a more complete and accurate conclusion.

Thank you for your assistance.

[Oh good grief. Poor Dr. Sweets. She feels a little bad for him now. If this was a joke, that would be one thing, but somehow this woman seems to be completely oblivious to how awkward and embarrassing this might have been for her friend.]

This may not have been the best approach, well intentioned as it may have been.

As for my impressions of Dr. Sweets, I think well of him generally. He is reasonable, polite, and tries to help others from what I have observed. He shows a willingness to learn about new things and to try to understand others.

[Ikaruga is 100% correct in her assessment.]

Perhaps.

Thank you for your contribution.

If you ever want to do this sort of research for the benefit of friends of yours in the future, I would suggest observing who the friend in question regularly interacts with - whether in a positive or negative way - and then approaching the people privately. It might not be as efficient, but it would spare your friends some social discomfort and then you would only be getting responses from people who actually know them.

[There's way too much social fail to outline everything that was wrong with how this was handled, so instead she focuses on suggesting a more tactful means of accomplishing the same thing.]

You are welcome.

text, ikaruga is so diplomatic, bless her

Thank you, I will take that into consideration. I admit that I am quite lacking in social skills.

Recognition and a willingness to improve when given constructive criticism will serve you well.
