On a side note...
One of the things I've learned in my years in the military is that a leader must be decisive. He must be able to make a decision based on less than perfect information, and in a quick manner. A decision now is much better than a better decision too late. However, I've also learned that, as a leader, if you want people to respect you, you have to be able to admit when you're wrong, and take subsequent actions to correct your error. Being able to look people in the face and tell them you made a mistake is hard...but for some reason not having to look them in the face on the Interwebs is much harder.

Again, this is all just a side note, I have no idea if it applies to this thread in particular or not, it's just for edification purposes... Originally Posted by Wakeuр

Never expect apologies or corrections here...Wanted to quote this and make one minor correction, I did get a gutted post corrected but I'm pretty sure that the only one that knows is me.

at least thats how I read it. Originally Posted by ImaMrCool

The quotation marks make a HUGE difference. Personally I take remarks regarding STD's very serious because I don't feel that is something to play with, furthermore its something i would never wish on anyone.
The problem with never owning mistakes, even the really obvious ones is that it builds up over time and then even the small ones turn into to more than they ever were. I've said repeatedly public and privately that I have made more mistakes than the Houston Mod team and the eccie ownership combined, I've been doing it a lot longer so that only makes sense. But we learned a long time ago to own our mistakes and then try to move forward.
I also read the post the way ImaMrCool did. Do we know what was said in emails, PMs or on the phone? Of course not and that is why the shepherds have enjoy our full faith and trust. There are lots of times when the membership isn't going to know the complete story and we need to be able to trust them. Originally Posted by Wayward
