Knowing your stuff + speaking your mind/sticking to what you know to be true. That’s a good definition of Justifiable (“Mature?”) Courage. Of course there must be willingness to learn and change.

Like anything involving others (actually, involving *anything*) sensitivity is important. I have no problem with being provocative to make a point (hell, it’s fun to!) but I’ve accidentally crossed the line to insulting/judgemental a few times, and it >doesn’t feel good While today’s age brings more ways to make a fool of yourself everyday

I love it! How can we expose ourselves, be a fool (which has a positive interpretation as well as negative – there’s a reason there’s a joker in a deck of cards), and be willing to laugh at ourselves.
