~In reply to some post, and its subsequent comment ;)
Straight and bitter are two separate words and need not always be conjuncted by an 'and'. you can talk straight without being bitter.
'Not being rude' doesnt directly imply you trying to be among the 'IN'-crowd either. 'Sugarcoating' sucks no doubt, but dude, there's a line that has to be drawn everywhere.
another misconception is that sarcasm is equivalent to bitterness.. what i understand of sarcasm is 'bringing out the irony' in a critical way.. note that being critical, being rhetorical, or being ironical are not the same as being bitter..
and trust me, even though it may "act as a stress-buster" for you, it does no good to the person who your 'bitter' sarcasm is aimed at!
theres nothing 'un-cooler' than getting in a group and trying to pelt all your s**t at one person to vent your frustration.. it may take any form.. for example there's nothing to be proud of your feat when 6 guys get together in a classroom, and do everything possible not to let some random guy speak at all, just because y dont like him!
one might come across as the hero then, but actually, he's far from it !
P.S. neither do i vow to drop my sarcasm, nor do i aim to please more people with what i speak, but getting rid of some of the harshness would definitely go a long way.. :P

I think perception is the key issue here.....Everybody it seems does not love Raymond :P
@Nitin: you were in coma for 14 hours.Congratulations, you tried.
about sugar coating..
just as rudeness comes naturally to many, sugar coating comes to remaining few. It's just the culture in which you grow up that dictates how far you go playing with words.
