So if I were to adhere to your reasoning, I would have this to say: you stated in your original post that you wanted to avoid drama, yet by the very nature of your post you created drama. My constructive criticism towards you is that you should have sent a PM instead of mucking up an informative thread.
Furthermore, many things are better left unsaid. Sure, you can be bold and try to assert yourself, but sometimes even if you're right, you'll look like the bad guy and get the short end of the stick for your efforts. Of course, I'm not your mother so far be it from me to tell you how to live your life.
That's all.

That's all.
You know very well that my post was not created with the intent of creating drama, or with any malice whatsoever, so stop acting like it. If you can't comprehend the simple message in my post, then I am deeply saddened by the failures of the education system. The only person that I am "looking like the bad guy" to are the ones that are unable to comprehend a simple message and understand the point of constructive criticism. I don't really care if I look like a bad guy to them because the judgement of a simpleton isn't really important to me.
If this is your sincere response, I appreciate understanding of my original message and the maturity of your response.

Please explain how I was "mucking up" a thread. The point of the thread was simply to inform AHQ customers that Bryan was no longer the one to contact for AHQ communication. Therefore, any response is "mucking up" the thread as there is no response necessary to that statement. If you think that the only things that should be said are the verbal equivalent of rainbows and happy rays of sunshine, then perhaps the name of the site should be changed to i-coddle.com Hell, the only reason people think "many things are better left unsaid" is because A) Our culture is afraid of conflict and B) People obviously don't comprehend constructive criticism (and are therefore unable to receive it properly).

Not to mention, it's definitely ME that doesn't/wont see it YOUR way, right? Impossible for it to be visa versa.
I see what you're saying, and have pointed out why it is incorrect.
I commend you for defending your friend, but sometimes you really have to take a step back and realize that you're the only one fighting.
