I noticed, reading some comments on another educational blog, the phrase, "Shame on the rest," when someone disagreed with a commenter and those who agree with them. This is a variation of, "Shame on you!" Fortunately, I don't see this phrase too often. It's a deeply hurtful phrase used today, in my opinion, mostly by those without positive parenting skills while shaking a finger in a child's face.
How is this phrase helpful? Does it not just pour gasoline on the fire?
What about a simple, "I disagree with you," or, "I find that comment off-base" instead?
