Everyone has opinions, the board is about sharing them.
Mate, I already said, I have no problem with people not rating him, but when people go to the absolute extremes of he offers absolutely nothing, that's when I call it out.
Not sure how that constitutes a 'self awareness blind spot'. mind.
You seem to get involved in this type of thing quite a lot.
Not really, the only person I've had any tet a tete with in teh last year is Adi, and both times it's been him with an absolute black and white view, and me with the more moderate one.
I respect your opinion and value a lot of your insights, but you do seem to only have room for your own opinion or those that agree with you.
That's your opinion, but I don't agree. I'm happy to discuss opinions, question them, test them, that doesn't mean I've only got room for my opinions.
Before you predictably snap back, I am aware that I have some strong opinions and am not backward coming forward myself, but you post so much and are always on the front foot.
What does 'on the front foot mean', and who decides what is 'so much'? I only post on things I feel I have some knowledge or interest in, and it's none of anyones concern how much I post is it?
I have a lot of time for Adi and hope he doesn't leave the board
If he's crying about leaving the board, then that's a shame but at the same time if he doesn't like people giving it back when he fails to keep it civil and respectful then he's only got himself to blame. I find the guys demeanor descends into that of a bully, and I'll stand up to that. He escalated a discussion about a footballer and started to throw around accusations at me, making it personal. Not the other way around. There was no need for that and it he lowered the tone.
Anyway the ignore button is there for a reason, I've ignored him, because I don't engage with people who take it personal, if he feels I'm doing that to him, he can do the same (or be less personal with people).
