For the past couple of weeks, I've noticed a trend that is really getting on my last nerve. I'll post a comment (not just here but to other blogs and forums as well) and, for whatever reason, I get totally and completely ignored. At first, I thought no one was seeing my comments and thats why the person who REPEATED THE INFORMATION I ALREADY GAVE was getting so much attention. However, it's been happening in training too. I say something at the begining of group discussion and then a good HALF HOUR later, someone repeats what I said. I've started to point this out in class and the person who repeats it just says "Oh yeah, I'm just clarifing" What the heck? It took you a bloody half hour to "clarify"? No one questioned or even acknowledged that I said anything to begin with and now you "clarify" and take the credit?
Like I said, it's been happening online too. The problem with online is that no one can tell my tone when I say "Isn't that what I wrote up there twenty posts ago?" and I know I'll start a flame war because, for whatever reason, we all turn into idiots online.
