I appreciate you taking the time to consider what I, and everyone else, said. I don't believe what you said what a bad idea. I believe it was a good plan with a poor execution. I'm a person that has strong opinions but I don't tend to stand up for them as much as I probably should. I don't enjoy confrontation. With that in mind, I applaud you for taking a stance and sticking to it. Right or wrong isn't in question. I think what you lacked in the second portion of your post was tact. Get your point across, let the audience know that you're serious, but you have to craft your words in a way that isn't demeaning or insulting. Don't give in to the intoxicating aroma of self-righteousness. Be confident, but be humble as well. I hope you found this somewhat helpful.

    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
