Re: Ungracious professionalism at internationals?

While this is an important issue to discuss, accusing others of "Ungracious professionalism" is both cliché and rather inflammatory. Perhaps I shouldn't be the one to throw stones, as I've put my own foot in my mouth a large number of times, but while you have an important point to raise, I don't think that was to way to do it. GP is thrown around a lot now, usually in the context of "I'm more GP then you."

I agree that the situation seems a little fishy at first glance, but I'd be inclined to believe the respected mentors who gave their first hand accounts of their experiences.
