This is how you respond to criticism

[GrayOnGray]

Paul Finebaum called Dabo "the most annoying winner." Don't follow or care that much about Swinney and Clemson, but he didn't demand an apology. Press thinks way too much of itself.

In Southern parlance, Dabo just said "Bless his heart" to Finebaum.

Leach is from Wyoming where they say what they mean and mean what they say.

"Don't worry about criticism from people you wouldn't take advice from."

That's great.

I was surprised to find out that some people don't know that when someone says, "Bless your heart".....it means "F You".

Add "little" to the heart and it's even more condescending.

I guess it depends where you are from. Maybe in some places, "Bless your heart" is snarky. It wasn't in the parts of E WA, OK or TX in which I lived. Of course when you said it and meant it, the tone of your voice made it clear that it was sincere. I've known a lot of folks who meant it as a sincere gesture.

I always took it to mean, "we know you mean well, but you're a dumbass."

I'm sure that there are places where it isn't an insult....but in general, it's use that I've seen in the past 10 years has been somewhere between dgibbons comment and mine. I can't remember the last time where it was said in a positive way.

Sure. It depends on how it's meant as you've said.
