>>
>> You see, I spent over 10 years working and training others and myself as a complaint and discipline and then a military police commander, I was chosen very young because I think differently, boldly and without fear or favour not because of A Level law only. Those are not traits I can discard here because of two fracas. I may come across as annoying and downright arrogant and a smart ass, but that is me. The only changes I can effect are ignoring personal attacks and insults, but I cannot change who I am. When truth is on your side and I will say so and if I feel you are wrong, no matter how annoying or rude I come across, I will say so, that is who I am. That is the reason I got the best in leadership in the military academy and served more than any other person as the disciplinary corp commander in the history of our armed forces, loved and hated fiercely, but respected! The troops I led, though love and respect me, even today, because of the aforementioned traits.
>> I thank you for your concerned, but these personal attacks and insults cannot silence me, it will take more than that, say, delisting me! I owe it to more country first and always, and then the troops I led, and then my own welfare and the welfare of my family, always and forever! That is an oath I took on commission and I live by daily!
>> Thanks,
>> Kejau
>>
>> Your acumen and proficiency in the military is admirable and commendable. One possible problem I see is that you were so good in the military and commanding of troupes that when you came to Ellen (a far cry from the strictures of military command), your military instincts followed you here. Where that may become problematic is that where your troupes held you very high esteem and followed your commands, and they dared not retort to you at the risk of burdensome discipline, at Ellen, each one of the troupes feels like a Kejau. In effect you are dealing with EQUALS here, whether deservedly or not, because none wants to feel like your underling. So where you have equally-excellent community members, threats of discipline, gratuitous litigation, reprisal, etcetera, or even the appearance of arrogance, are more likely to escalate into fracas or fights. It is then that your great attributes and acumen should kick in to reconnoitre or even refine your communication.
>>
>> I have seen, and have cringed, even when you meant no harm, your literature or words conveyed insolence and condescension. I actually sat here and one day and was reading where you were in agreement with someone on a point, but like Romney, you used so inelegant a language that the other person did not even appreciate your agreement with them on the point proper. As the conversation went on, I saw it deteriorate into an unnecessary conflict. I think that is what JDAM is alluding to. In other words, you have so many good qualities and attributes, all well-earned, the atmospherics of command and control seems to always seep in. I understand you cannot change your person or personality. None of us can. However, each of us can calibrate how we communicate with each other, particularly when all of us think we are chiefs and none is a subject of anyone.
>>
>> I admire Olfactor's independence in thought. And unlike you, Olfactor is not given to provoking conflict. He has, over the years, refined his communication not because he is intimidated by anyone, but because sometimes, even we are on the right, needless conflict from mere miscommunication, is terribly inutile and a waste of energy. This is the reason why JDAM does not find much reason to advise restraint for him, nor Giussepe.
