If I takes sides in a board fight between two providers, am I a white knight for supporting provider A or a misogynistic a-hole for chastising provider B?
Or just an idiot for even getting involved?
modified to add smiley face and indicate the above is all hypothetical
Not knowing the circumstances, my best advice is to stay out of it publicly. If you want to support A or B, do so privately through their PM. We had a snit come up on the Chicago board recently and I think some sides were taken. In the end, I think both providers may have lost some credibility but it depends on your frame of reference. As for white knight or misogynistic a-hole, I think you might be over-generalizing how these are traditionally used. In one case, it means you have a rescue complex, in the other, some might say you had issues with your mother, i.e., and Oedipus complex. Guess what? You get to choose.
it was more a slam on those who toss the terms around --- for some a wk is anyone who ever protects a provider's rep, and others label someone as misogynist for ever attacking a provider's rep, so what happens when you protect one provider by attacking another?
BTW, the above was all hypothetical, inspired by some drama on the regional board but I just watched, and then thought of this to sort of amuse myself.
