My colleague, LP has wonderful qualifications and she is a strong leader herself, and yes, you are right. I did call myself out as being a jerk, but I am a caring jerk. Tough love. It's how you have to get some things done. If I was wimpy, and soft, and all loving, people would walk all over me. Take advantage of me every chance they get. So, sometimes it takes someone who is strong, and not so easy going, to get things done.

A very excellent question, Moderator APD,
You see, as I can read my audience very well, I observe that I'm in a community of exceedingly nice people. Very nice people. And I realize my somewhat harsh opinions and outspokenness and "straight talk" can be seen negatively. So I find it better to preface myself by telling people I'm worse than what I am to lessen the blow in a way. To where they come to expect somewhat "harsher" words. But as I stated earlier, and like my colleague Wolfwood said, I give it to you straight. No wishy washy, beating around the bush. If you're bad, you're bad. You got a horrible idea, I'll tell you it's a horrible idea. And why do I do this? Because at my core I care. I may express this differently, but I feel letting people know they're not the best thing ever is better in the long run then letting them believe they're good and they hurt themselves.

Alright, ladies first this time around I suppose.
I think everyone has a right to an opinion, after all free country and all that. Usually if someone states their idea confidently it means they think it's a good idea. However, by putting it out there they are signing a sort of Internet agreement that they are going to get both positive and negative responses. Their job is to filter out the simple "hate" comments that dot provide backup or reasons for their opinion, and the ones that even if they are harsh have valid points in ther reasoning. And if their idea is a good idea I wouldn't be saying its a bad idea. But see, here's where it can get complicated. Say someone says an idea that they think is good, and a majority of people also think it's good. Often they'll use this as proof that they're right. But say, in an extreme example, a majority of people agreed and thought Hitler was right (during his time). But just because he had a lot of people agreeing with him doesn't mean in the end, he was right.
I often look at something subjectively and objectively before giving my opinion on it being bad or not. Or a "horrible idea". If I find that "bad" is the answer to both, then it's a bad idea. And it's a good thing they didn't pursue it. I wouldn't tell someone a good idea is bad.
