OK, let me ask you folks a question...
Let's say that a friend asks you for your opinion on a new person in their life. You have a gut feeling and you tell them that you don't think this new person is 100% who they say they are and as it turns out, you were very much correct. OK, let's say this happens more than once, and each time, you're right. OK, so now a third time comes around and you say the same, because that's what you really think, given the limited amount of information you have. This time, let's say the the friend takes offense and insults you, even though they didn't mean to. My reaction to this would be to tell the person that their question was answered and then ask them to drop it, so there won't be any bad feelings between them, because this is obviously a delicate issue that could cause a breakdown in the friendship.
Now, please keep in mind that you didn't put your nose into this friend's business, but rather the friend asked you for your thoughts. Also keep in mind, that you like the person too well to LIE to them about what you think.
OK, so what do you do??
