He was best to say nothing at all or at least stick to "the rebrand was necessary to save the club" line.

    "tens of thousands", to me, implies 20,000, 30,000, 40,000 maybe even 90,000. Which is why I chuckled at your exaggeration. Never mind, no big deal.

    Back to your question...I have no idea why anyone would put me in ignore unless they are fascists who don't agree in free speech and the inalienable right to express yourself.

    Really? There are plenty of examples of one director knowing about the workings of a company that the chairman or CEO weren't privy to. Being a civil servant I wouldn't expect you to be too familiar with corporate governance other than what you have read in a book. Perhaps you are outside of your comfort zone here but don't really appreciate it. It certainly appears that way.

    Is there really any need to adopt such an attitude, Feedback? You are an intelligent person and you do not need to resort to schoolboy insults. Why not just argue your point reasonably if you think you have a good case. People don't seem to realise that insulting other posters does not necessarily strengthen their own case.
    Quote Originally Posted by Feedback wrote on Fri, 02 January 2015 08:46
    What's rude about this? It's not insulting in any way. If someone seems clearly lacking in understanding of a subject then it's not rude to suggest it. Feedback has hardly been insulting.
    He kindly accepted the criticism. Intelligent posters are able to argue a point without ad hominem comments.

    The bankers only get their bonuses if they deliver the goods. For investment bankers this means oiling the wheels of the economy such that we all benefit.

    When you look at it that way it is clear that bankers really do deserve their bonuses, which most will agree aren't commensurate with the role they play in society

    Is there really any need to adopt such an attitude, Feedback? You are an intelligent person and you do not need to resort to schoolboy insults. Why not just argue your point reasonably if you think you have a good case. People don't seem to realise that insulting other posters does not necessarily strengthen their own case.
