User blog comment:Flamefang/This is seriously pissing me off/@comment-3221594-20110826002817

I have no idea what the Sky and Ghost thing is all about. I have no knowledge of all of the other repeat offenses you mention here. As a manager, I am sure there are many and they must be frustrating. But venting here like this does not solve any problems is likely going to make things worse.

The generalized tone of this message feels like a finger is being pointed at me for no reason and I do not appreciate that. If you have a problem with someone, please address it with that person directly. I don't feel like I need to know about it and would prefer that it not come steamrollering over my fun.

Also, please bear in mind these general rules for tense conversations: 1) Pointing fingers makes people defensive and less likely to want to cooperate with you. Stick to facts and avoid putting any personal opinion into things. Yes, it's hard. But it is needed to make any worthwhile compromise. 2) Nobody can MAKE anyone else do or feel anything. Only you can choose how you react to what you are faced with.
