All right, words are our tools, but the maxim is "show don't tell" when using them. >>
Yes, and you can't "show" anything without having the characters BE verbal and providing description, etc. "Show don't tell" really doesn't fit the discussion we're having, imo. This falls into the category of what kinds of verbs (passive or not) an author uses, etc.
