Well Said!


>Dear john,
>
>>>the problem is that you are not being even-handed. You never challenge the VFP is best and .NET sucks crowd that attack people who advocate tools other than Fox. You seem to either turn a blind eye and/or give these people a free pass...
>
>Well, by the time I slowly and creakingly arrive on the scene, such a person is invariably already buried beneath a pile of furious dotNETters. I suppose I could pile on as well, but what for?
>
>There is also the issue of context. Somebody in the Blue Team stand who hollers "Blue is Best!" can expect to be applauded by his peers. But go across to the Red Team stand and try it there, and a brawl may well erupt. So: if a Blue fan really feels the need to promote his team in the Red Team clubhouse, it is wise to do so quietly, with good humor and humility and a willingness to concede points.
>
>I would point to Kevin Goff as somebody who recently presented his case for the Blue team here in the Red team clubhouse. He put up some advice and invited people to check for themselves.
>
>And what negative reaction has he had from that? None that I've seen. Sure he's had negative reaction previously, but that recent offering was a tactful presentation of simple facts by a Blue Team person to a Red Team audience, on their own turf, presented as advice to equals. And he was thanked for it.
