    No reason to get bogged down in semantics. I could point out that someone's fat, poor, short, bald, etc. in front of other people and watch as they become uncomfortable and humiliated, but it's a petty thing to do.

    Sure they may feel embarrassed and it may be unnecessary but if the statement is true and can be factually backed up then honestly the person in my eyes should not view it as harassment. They may dislike me as a person and take offense to the statement, but to categorize it as harassment seems weird cause telling people the truth should never been seen as harassment aren’t we all taught that being honest is the best policy. Yet when it comes to certain things are told to lie to spare the feelings of others. Seems weird to me.
    Being honest is certainly not always the best policy; that's just something adults say to children because they don't feel like explaining the nuances of social interaction to them.

    When determining whether or not being honest is a good or bad idea you need to read the situation and apply a certain level of common sense to it. In your case honesty seems to mainly involve criticism of people. In many situations, however, criticism isn't necessary or useful; it just creates conflict. It's your job to recognize those situations, apply logic, and realize that it would be best for everyone if you kept your criticisms to yourself.
