Trying to teach millennials tact? You are doing God's work.Hey folks! I've been noticing a lot of people in-game and on the forums get into very antagonizing (and even unnecessary) arguments and I think it's time all of us sit down and learn about the beauty of tact!

Tact is a very useful social tool which involves some proper phrasing in order dull the sharpness of harsh truths or opinions. By phrasing things in a less sharp manner, one can give better advice or express opinions or facts without fear of defensive backlash.
I have heard many people excuse their lack of tact for being simply "honest", but all that flavor of "honesty" does is cause people to feel hurt, which can provoke feelings of defensiveness, causing them to perceive you as if you are directly attacking them, and thus they may well attack you back.
