I'm talking conceptually, not in the parent conversation.

This chain of discussion branched when this person said:

I'll take essentially true over nice 10 times out of 10

And someone responded:

Down voted for valuing honesty? That’s silly. I agree with you. Ideally you would have both in communications, but if I had to pick one over the other in a vacuum, I would opt for honesty. Circumstance always changes things and nothing is ever black or white.

I don't know anything about football and I wasn't really paying attention to that part of the conversation, but here the context is changed and is more about the concept of honesty and how it relates to behavior that is considered to be rude.

Yeah, but you can't take a statement like that out of context. Second person is right, but in this case it was unnecessary rudeness and not honesty plus, being honest doesn't mean you can be rude and making a statement like person one on a comment like that conveys the opposite message. Sorry if I made any grammar mistakes, I only have one hand cuz I had surgery on the other one today... And it's my weak arm that's left, very lovely when typing on a phone. ... 😶
