I'd like to encourage you to use your voice to ask questions, like "Are we using the same definition of 'unacceptable behavior'?" and "What problem do you see your suggestion fixing?" and "What are the examples you are imagining or remembering when you make that suggestion?"

And I'd also like to encourage you *not* to use your voice – to remember to listen, to observe, to contemplate. You may have heard that old saying about communication being a two-way street: that is in fact false. Communication is a narrow one-way bridge that traffic has to take turns crossing. If you're sending, you're not receiving. If the teacup of your comprehension seems too full of your prior understandings too preciously savored, nobody else is going to pour you a serving from their own teapot.

Like I said, nobody's going to come and force clues down your throat. If you seem not to want them, you won't be given them.
