By the way, I'll be more likely to respect your ideas when you gain the courage to actually present them without your friend having to tell you that it's ok if you do. When people have good ideas, I'll be the first to say so, and come to think of it, I was, last night, frequently. I notice you don't give me credit for that, either.
That's kind of an assumption to make based on one thing, ain't it? Like you say, you never met me. Ailey was running the show last night. When I was starting to speak up, she as chairman decided to move on. Since when is a tendency towards quiet (and a bad habit of whispering to a buddy) lack of courage? I should have just spoken, but I have an entirely different model for these things than some people. If you want to call me on something, call me on the hypocrisy, since I'm a whisperer too.
As for giving you credit, I think that's unfair as well, for two reasons. One is that good behavior in one sense doesn't cancel bad behavior in another, and the other is that I'm speaking out of genuine acknowledgement of your own good ideas. If I was just going to run you down, I wouldn't bother with the nice.
Oh, by the way, if you have a problem with Dash, feel free to address it to him. I don't have a problem sharing private jokes with a friend in public, and you're mistaken about what any eye-rolling was about or my actual reaction to a lot of it, but I also don't feel the need to justify myself to you.
It's entirely possible I'm mistaken about what your body language meant, and I apologize. But if you don't mean it to be shit-flinging, and it might have been taken that way, no one would think the less of you for clarifying that. I also know you're not Dash, but you're the one posting, and some of what I object to is not about Dash, but the sense that the two of you sat back together and looked down your nose at the rest of the room when others had different focuses as to how to address the Wal-Mart problem and the underlying problem of the economy and local infrastructure.
You don't need to justify yourself, because that will just piss people off. But we need our bridges to stay built among one another.
