True.
Guess I figured out why he felt attacked. I was looking at how I'd feel if
offering help, and get criticised. But it's how the criticism is done that
makes a difference.
Novell did something that's anything but common, and he decided to stand in
the middle. Paid or not.
Tough position.
In all I still don't feel we were that hard on him. He, and Novell, made
statements which people did not agree with. Found it awfully hard to buy
into. Besides from the lawyer thing he seemed too sensitive.
I've screwed up in public and it's not fun, but I don't hold it against the
people who did not buy into it, or came out with the correct info.
