I was just reading a handout at a hospital I do work for that was concerned with cultural awareness. It mentioned how loud and aggressive people are seen as unintelligent in Asian cultures. I must say that in my experience the people "who let their hair down" are often the least constructive and the most ill-informed. My father has always said "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." I have met more people that thought they had the voice all figured out when, in fact, they didn't know the first thing about what they were saying. I think that there is a lot to be said for prudence.
Having said that, I shall return to the listening-thinking mode.
