Dmg is doing his job.
He’s trying to find a way to make lemonade out of this box of lemons we’re handing them.
He’s trying but he won’t find it.
Because the reality here is that this about people’s emotions, and the only “solution” here is to simply stop making events of this size and scope..,.,
....or accept the emotional crash that comes after it as the price of doing business in them.

Or I simply assess each situation on its own merits. So I'm not "always defending" or "always criticizing". No real person or group of people is/are "always" right or "always" wrong. Unless the person making that determination has a strong bias that is clouding their judgement.

[quote]Or I simply assess each situation on its own merits.[/quote] Funny joke. [quote]So I'm not "always defending" or "always criticizing".[/quote] Except you are.
