Consensus view

by Dennis Howlett on July 17, 2006

Last week I was toying with the idea of having an ‘off beat’ section. The variety of comments suggest a balance in favour of leaving it to others. And I was so looking forward to the Dangling Debiteer (or some such). That was confirmed this morning when an ex-CXO of a well known software company got in touch and said I ‘entertained’ him, with certain thoughts. Oh well, maybe that’s enough for most readers. (Dang – I wish he’d gone public.)

Instead, I decided to add Hugh’s Cartoons in the sidebar. Hugh’s stuff has to be read ’selectively.’ I’ve therefore chosen the ‘non adult’ version. Gotta maintain standards. Well some at least. In the meantime, you can have a daily giggle, courtesy of Hugh.

  • I didn't think you were having a go at me at all.

    Just got me thinking really.

    Something I do too much of perhaps.

    I thought I'd post a whimsical response.

    Sorry if I made you feel bad. Wasn't intentional at all.
  • David - relax...the issue is that Hugh says what many think but are afraid to say. I PERSONALLY like that. It's the unvarnished truth approach this industry needs at times.

    I appreciate some need to be taken from Leeds to Skipton to get to Leeds - if you know what I mean. Absolutely no intention of pidgeon holing you in any way. I have way too much respect for your approach to your clients to imply that. If I have, then grovelling apologies are in order.
  • You could put me in that category. If I'm with someone and I think they're a tosser, am I being hypocritical for not telling them?

    I think not.

    On the other hand I wouldn't pretend they were anything other than a tosser if that's what I really thought. But, if asked for an opinion, I'd probably refer the asker to the source of my opinion than to my my pre-digested, one-word, conclusion.

    That probably makes me a hypocritical tosser.
  • Hugh/David: Not everone understands there is something a lot more meaningful beneath the 'FU' stuff. But it is an 'acquired taste' and I can fully understand why people might be wary. Especially those whose thoughts don't necessarily match what they say in public. That's where HM is powerful. IMO. Hypocrisy exposed.
  • Good for you, Hugh. I refrained from blogging my thoughts at the time (ie total lack of control, or so I assumed) and now I'm glad I did.

    Might have mentioned them to one or two people though...

    Funny, I find myelf more nad more reluctant to put "adult" stuff onto the widget... simply because it's other people's blogs that are affected.
