Harasssment

We naively contend that:

• "Asserting authority" or "yielding control" does or doesn't occur in an active or passive capacity."

It's never about respectfulness or timing.  There may or may not be an audience or "witnesses".

Do or don't be fooled or informed by:

• "Did or have you 'found the time'..."
• "If or when you 'have a chance'..."
• "What can I help with?"

Polite conversation is never used as a "cover" for "harassment" or "nit-picking".

Backward or "i'm better than you".
