It's interesting to see the softfork conversations, especially how the proponents make various communication mistakes in the various threads. Parts of this may be cultural (e.g. Europe vs US vs Asia), but part of this is just folks missing some communication skills.

Communication skills are skills like any other - you have to learn them, you have to gain them.

If I ask you to learn BASH scripting - what do you do? You go to Youtube, read some articles, maybe get a book, try-and-fail couple times, start with smaller project and then do bigger, etc...

Why do people not think the same way and follow literally the same steps when they need to communicate something really important to them?
