Really? Because I've "eaten" it for quite a while, and it's been pretty effective. I tell myself that people being rude or jerks have a reason for what they're doing, and while I show a backbone when things get too harsh, for the most part I give them room to breathe. Result: Far fewer pointless fights, far less negativity.

But you still consider them rude, or jerks - which they are, reason or not. That's not avoiding reality.
Yes, but DFW doesn't say they're not rude/jerks. He says what I said - namely, that there's a reason they're r/j.
