I am not saying that the trade helps you this year, I am not saying that you should sign it, I am not saying I would sign it in your position.

BUT ... You came on here and said in a public forum that a specific person has shark like tendencies (implying that in an extremely negative manner) and implicitly saying that his normal mode of operation is to make ridiculous insulting offers.

Maybe he does do that, I don't know. But if you are going to make public negative statements about someone I think that you should

(1) Have something legitimate to complain about the guy.

AND

(2) Have some good evidence to back it up.

I do not believe that the particular trade offer you were sent was so far out on a limb to demand a public flogging.

IN MY OPINION (and I am sure I will be told if I am wrong) ... Before you rip someone publicly BY NAME you should stop and make sure that what you are ripping them for is really significant and accurate.

My opinion is that in this circumstance it doesn't pass that test.

Good luck this year

Tim
