Re^4: Pumpking resignation

[Aldebaran]

I've seen various posts and actions recently which are totally the opposite. One person making a decision, no discussion to be had, despite many people with vested interests trying to point out that there are better courses of action.

These 3 sentences produce contradiction. I don't think marto calls balls and strikes impartially.

"These 3 sentences produce contradiction."

You quoted two sentences. Where's the contradiction?

"I don't think marto calls balls and strikes impartially."

I don't understand the sporting/game analogy. Can you point out anything to back up your claim I've been less than impartial in some way?

Update: Reworded last sentence for clarity.

You could substitute "offside" for "balls and strikes" for a footie analogy. And I think your contradiction may have been in saying that there was (a) no discussion but (b) many people with vested interests trying to point out ...

I'm aware offside is a 'bad' thing, but not familiar with that either, but I really appreciate you trying to clear that up for me :) In terms of what I said this is a chain of events. An announcement was made by a manager without discussion with the people who'd have to do the work, after which continued comms (for what, almost a year now) to have some back and forth from the people who'd actually be doing the work, many of whom were apparently ignored when raising various types of issue with the announced course of action.
