Ron: Craig brings up a valid subject that even the display of emotion may be contextual in meaning. So I must disagree that a contextual structure is Not required to communicate. Meaning always requires context. The Maori Express anger and hostility to welcome guests. I've known folks to express Joy through weeping. Anger through silence. Disgust through laughter.
[Krimel] While not immune from culturally determined variation the expression and comprehension of emotions is remarkably universal not only within our species but across species. Ron: I've experienced that kind of communication, although, I question how much Of the meaning is understood and how much I'm projecting. [Krimel] I agree with Matt that even the attempt to have no style is a style. But honesty and careful communication can emerge from any style if properly used. Ron: Agree, you drive to the heart of it. Making the effort to care is the focal point. What is communicated is care. Also care seems to be unilaterally valued.
