Comments on: My 360|Flex Survey Results - did I offend you? http://dougmccune.com/blog/2008/03/08/my-360flex-survey-results-did-i-offend-you/ A blog about Adobe Flex Sun, 06 Jul 2008 04:14:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.7 by: Doug http://dougmccune.com/blog/2008/03/08/my-360flex-survey-results-did-i-offend-you/#comment-69848 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 22:04:55 +0000 http://dougmccune.com/blog/2008/03/08/my-360flex-survey-results-did-i-offend-you/#comment-69848 @kakophony: I find it amusing that out of all the comments posted here, your "proper" comment is the angriest and most condescending. You managed to call most people in this discussion (myself obviously included) "pathetic," childish, unrefined, and uneducated. I'd be offended if I gave a fuck. I also assume you weren't at my session so you don't actually have any input on anything that I actually said; you just wanted to make your little comment so you can appear better than us lowly, unrefined peasants. Please don't insult my intelligence with uninformed condescension. My session was anything but "angry and belligerent." @kakophony: I find it amusing that out of all the comments posted here, your “proper” comment is the angriest and most condescending.

To all who think so, I'd encourage you to grow up and try listening to those who have an adequate vocabulary at their disposition to engage and entertain their audience and not have to resort to the unrefined and hackneyed forms of speech. Chris Trudel: If it is a simple word that can't hurt anyone, why is it that it is almost always part of angry and belligerent exchanges?

Haha .. talk about irony. Anywho, I enjoyed Doug's presentation on personal consulting which has encouraged me to do some personal consulting of my own. I've worked in Corporate America for over 10 years and it's all stiff collars, starched shirts and fancy ties. I found Doug's presentation to be refreshing. It was nice to see someone be REAL for once and not bs around the issue at hand. I love Doug's "tell you how it is, fuck the politically correct bullshit" attitude. I would love to work with him because he will get straight to the issue and do whatever it takes to get it done. I wouldn't change a thing.

I think it was very relaxed and informative. Sure it may have offended some "fragile sensibilities" but that's what made you engaging and interesting. You had the majority of the room laughing. Nothing against anyone else cause there were some great presentations in Atlanta, but your style sorta has that "Head's First" feel which is memorable because it is so different. Most Groovy. Shawn Dude,

Toning down your language would probably just add to the bottom what you cut off the top. Perhaps you could put an explicit language warning on your presentation announcement ;) It is best to be yourself; you can’t please everyone.
