...more "bothered by" "other people's opinions," etc, than anyone else. I was banned by JLA ... Right. We can probably agree that EVERYONE is bothered by other peops opinions. Some people see other peops opinions as a vehicle for exploration. By challenging those opinions we test ourselves and open the door for change and growth where-in we find just cause. Some people are very comfortable with their own status quo and will resist anything that might suggest change could be in order. Change and change management is a good topic... usually prompted by lefties. The problem is real change has an internal locus of control and most people who consider them agents of change are looking only to change others. So, we get lefties, putting everyone on ignore and banning everyone who challenges them and we get righties doing the same... and no one involved experiences growth via change... just lots of entertaining flame wars. It is not productive to simply state, "ok well look at that guy, he does it too." I would put that in the category of dismissive. It also can be used to justify less than noble behavior ... as we have both noted at this point. ... CYBER and Sylvestor are each other's justification, right?
