Take this from someone who has learned the lesson the hard way- no one listens to someone throwing a 'tantrum'. The most effective way to get your message across in the most brutal of circumstances is just to remain as calm as possible and keep sticking to the facts.

This may seem like obvious advice, but believe me, it goes such a long way.


That being said, of course there is truth in Brandon's post. Its just being fed through an emotionally charged lens and while some people may be able to see through that, there are certainly others who will not be able to do so.

Believe me, I've been there. I've made the same type of post on CD after a competition way back in the day. Take a night, sleep on it, try to get back to the facts and use those as your ammunition to try and force change.
