To me those questions could come off as condescending. I say could because I wouldn’t think that’s your intent, but the tone is there.

- kqr 4y agoThat depends entirely on whether you add the question as a formality or if you are genuinely interested in why the other person might disagree.
- graftak 4y agoTo me ’…don’t you agree?’ is the sort of rhetoric that parents use to make their kids internalise their beliefs. If someone disagrees I expect them to speak up, if they’re not so inclined I’m interested to know why, so we can address/resolve that and move on.
- Kaze404 4y agoThe comment says "do you agree?", not "don't you agree?". I agree that the latter sounds condescending, but the former sounds reasonable to me.
