Brad Wardell, a good guy!
Monday, October 22, 2001 by T-Man | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
In light of recents posting I just wanted to step back and reflect on the real Brad Wardell. I've known Brad for many years and I hate to see it when people try to portray him as a negative person. So I just want to take a moment to tell you about the Brad I know.
Brad is a kind and generous person, I've seen him go out of his way many of times to help other people.
Brad works from home as often as possible so that he can spend more time with his wife and kids which he adores so much.
Brad makes business decisions that are based on whats best for his employee's and not necessarily for the company.
Brad is a fun guy to be around.
Brad takes time out of the day to not just play with his kids but also plays with the neighbors kids as well. Essential, he is a big kid himself.
Brad smells. (ok, so he's not perfect)

paxx,
Thank you for the information, I didn't know that the understanding, about what make us irritate in the other people actions, is called "projection".

adni, just to clarify. Projection is when something irritate you, but you project to others that irritation. For example if I said "You think I'm ugly" might actually mean that I, myself, think I'm ugly.

i only know Frogboy aka ''Brad'' from this site. and when he talks to people he doesn't agree with he always tries to convince them with reason. he does't make personal attacks. he doesn't call people names. i respect him for that even if i don't agree with him. and i also respect results. and like it or not, frogboy and his team have produced results. results that have benefited many.

Hum... Sorry, but I've seen Brad loose his temper too. And I was the one who drove him off the wall then. His words were not kind, I can assure you of that. But all that is in the past, and it hasn't afected the respect I have for the guy now. I am only know for sure he isn't perfect, neither am I and neither is anybody here.

He didn't say Brad is always kind. I've seen him not be kind. Everyone has days where they're not being very kind. But to use Shoggot's words, has Brad ever created a post calling someone a "fuckhead" (or Nazi)? Even as frustrated as he got with you (I must have missed that post) did he actall you a profane name or a Nazi? I doubt it.
That's the problem some of us, particular some of us at Stardock, have with some of what's been happening. The moral equivicating of it all. "Sure, l0c created a post calling Brad a Nazi right after his cohort Jier spent the weekend on DA callig him worthless, a criminal, and worse but Brad has been unkind in the past too" Unkind calling someone a Nazi or a criminal. And the reasons Brad has been called these awful names has been really lame such as Jier's response to Frog's Skinprimer or l0c's response to Frog's removing l0c's slanderous news item about a third party.

paxx,
After your good explanation, I must say that, “projection” is another situation from what it was posted above from me (and DavidK I suppose).

i never said "post", tandis - i just speculated, that at some point everyone (or damn close to it, folks like ghandi etc excepted) has called someone else a f*ckhead etc. The fact that brad (who wasn't mentioned in my original post on the subject at all) hasn't called anyone a f*ckhead in posts on the msgbd is irrelevant to my point.
