    I start to perceive a pinch of bad faith, and an excessive amount of paternalism. Your arguments are mostly ad hominem, so far you didn’t produce much coherent criticism of ideas.

    Anyway, you seem to have missed the point that understanding that “leaders” (BTW, you seem to use this term seriously like if we were on LinkedIn) keep their mouth shut is different from understanding my (ours) role into this dynamic.

    I don’t need any proof, that was just an example, from a very limited sample of my life which is this alias and that blog. I have nothing to prove or anything to defend from baseless accusations of a random internet person with lacking knowledge (about myself, which I hope you will agree).

    You state yourself you are just learning about this which is very clear.

    Here is the bad faith I was talking about. A sentence which clearly is out of context used for a very patronizing ad hominem.

      Please don’t lecture me about bad faith as you engage in bad faith. I will restate my premise that you came across as an apologist. This was a objectively true from my viewpoint as well as your perhaps inadvertent devil’s advocacy (I am being generous here because maybe you have never thought about your behavior in this regard).

      He was simply wrong for this statement. It was a half baked political opinion that did more harm than good. This is from the standpoint of an actual leader who has started businesses from the ground up.

      You are just learning, and pointing out your own words is not bad faith. Your emotions get the better of you and it becomes about your ego at this point. Your lack of self reflection in this matter is unbecoming.

        I specifically quoted the part that I considered bad faith. I am OK with you thinking I am an apologist. I don’t consider it bad faith (although I consider it wrong). What was bad faith was purposefully misinterpreting a sentence that was in a clear context so that you could use it for that patronizing statement.

        This was a objectively true from my viewpoint

        Nothing to say, it just sounds ironic to me. Again, I have no problem with your subjective judgment.

        He was simply wrong for this statement.

        And I respect your opinion.

        that did more harm than good.

        Now we ended up in an argument that has to do with result? I have never said that it was a good move. That it benefit the company or anything like that. What argument are you trying to challenge? I am judging the action based on my own morality, not based on whether it benefit him or his company.

        You are just learning, and pointing out your own words is not bad faith

        Strike two. Go re-read the sentence. I said that I didn’t know anything about him before this debacle and that I ended up learning about him whole informing myself about it. For your convenience I will quote my own words:

        I actually can’t care less about him, and I barely know anything about him. My involvement is very limited to this case, and that is because wanting to understand inevitably forced me to learn certain things and inform myself.

        This behavior (patronizing, intentionally misunderstanding other person sentences) for me is clearly a demonstration of bad faith. As usual, your accusation of bad faith did not specify any reason or quoted any part and i challenge you to do that.

        Not that it matters to you, but next similar behavior and I will block you and move on.

          I will happily block you. You are a incapable of not personalizing this whole conversation and any future discussions with you will likely lead to the same outcome.

            That takes courage to say, after 90% of your comments have to do with (speculations on) me.

            Anyway, good riddance.
