Dearest Joshua, I think you took some of my comments out of context. Let's first agree not to fight! Agreed.
The second point, I'll like to make is let's not get personal...I'm not sure what a Pinkerton uniform is, enlighten those of us who don't know, but far be it from me to take any stand other than the one Voltaire took, "I may disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" note these are his words, not mine.
Third, if you are not Napoleonic, than why get crass and tell people where they belong (behind a desk) whereas my comment was prefaced with "I think..." not therefore "you are." And simply because people pay you BIG bucks is not an indication of their wisdom, but rather "I think" your adroit ability to sell your wares, whatever they may be. And if you are accomplished in that, there is no need for you to snipe at me....but a small part of your would be fiefdom.
Lastly as an educator, a dad, consultant, and a columnist I've often felt intelligent people never use a veneer to cover their lack of facts, or knowledge...intelligent people admit their ignorance as I've often done, as I'll admit now, I cannot get over what a huff you got into, and if your comments were not meant to be intimidating, then I apologize for my misunderstanding. But then everyone has their day... and their opinion. Remember that as a consultant. Though only 29 I notice you've been investing since you were 16? Save this note until you're 45, it might mean more then.
To the rest of the group, I apologize for the time I've taken. Forgive me. And Joshua, I am,
Eruditely yours,
Doc Wortham |
