I find your tone dismissive, condescending and snarky. I made a (hedged) statement that turned out to be incorrect, updated the blog post, and moved on. I didn't think it was a statement of great consequence, certainly nothing to fixate on.

Do you share that link with everyone who disagrees with you? It comes across as an overreaction. Another way to deal with critical feedback would be to understand it at a deeper level instead of being reactive.

I’ll help you out. A bunch of us here deal with board members on a daily basis. Some board members are great, others not so much. To hear that there is a board out there that gave voting rights to an employee makes us experience two simultaneous sensations: 1. Hell yeah!, and 2. I wonder if they picked the right employee.

I’ll leave it at that.

Oh shut up you sanctimonious prick. You're confirming all of the negative stereotypes about this website.

Do you think I, in 20 years of working in the industry, haven't dealt with bad board members? How about a little curiosity instead of whatever the hell you're dishing in this thread.

Let me help you out: you're a stupid little troll and your contributions to this discussion are like little turd droppings that just stink up the room. Please kindly contribute constructively or fuck the hell off.

I'm at peace with it.
