The only big flaw with your logic of "not caring" is that the person disagreeing with your opinion is one of the main developpers of the tools you are waiting for ...
It's a bit like saying to your boss that his opinion sucks and doesn't matter and then asking him if you could get paid a bit more ...
Well, the flaw in your logic is this:
1. I stated I don't care "in general" about other people's opinion of "my opinion". I did not say that I don't care about the opinion of any "specific" individual (as you stated it).
2. If my boss's opinion sucks (in my opinion) and if his/her opinion doesn't matter to me, and I am doing the job I'm paid for and doing it exceedingly well, I deserve a raise and shouldn't have to ASK!
3. I'm not a mindless robot. Perhaps I over-stated my opinion regarding what "matters" to me. But, frankly everyone has a right to an opinion, they don't have the right to force or expect others to agree with it. What? am I suppose to bend down and kiss his........
4. Before AT&T broke up, I often disagreed with the opinion of the management as to how they ran the phone company. I told them so. I still used the phone company, heck.. what else was I to do???
Now, could we stop trying to make "my opinion" the issue here? I'm just one drop in the ocean, hardly noticeable!!
Stir the pot much, Korrigan?
Have a great day!!!
