hahaha.  this really gets me.  what are people thinking when they give a back handed compliment?  do they think that it will slide unnoticed?  do they think they are helping anything?  more likely, they just want to share what is on their mind, but in a way they won’t be confronted over… OR, there is always the possibility that they didn’t want to say anything, but someone JUST HAD TO DIG, and it’s the only way they can be honest?  HO.
Anyways, back handed compliments.  They are DOOZIES.
