Goonfleet's director-level discussion forums and channels have been like that since day one. This is why there have been half a dozen significant directorship purges in Goonfleet's nine months of life. With over 2000 members, there are always new people willing to step up and spend a few months learning just what dealing with Remedial is like.
This was perhaps my biggest beef with what remedial was saying. There was also the part somewhere in it where he basically said that he didn't care if senior level directors quit because he could always pull more people up from the ranks who would love to do the job.
I really don't care what sort of activity you are engaged in, such disregard for your subordinates is truly horrendous leadership. Even if the statement is factually correct (which it almost certainly is) making such a statement is just an idiotic thing to do and probably the worst thing you would want to say when trying to run a huge corporation. The larger the corporation the more delegation is necessary in order for it to run smoothly, and the more you delegate the more you need to have trust and faith in those that you delegate authority to. Calling them all basically expendable peons is hardly the way to get that accomplished.

With personal insults like that, I really can't understand why anyone would put up with you Remedial.
I sort of like the idea of the Goons, and I wish them all the best. But in my eyes it doesn't matter how good someone can lead if he can't even act like a adult. I lost count of the number of insults in those 3 pages.
Someone needs to post a link to the goonfleet keyboard that was made up recently. Having spent some time on their teamspeak and in gangs I can assure you that it is pretty much an accurate reflection of what's said during ops and idle time

by the most part they seem an educated bunch, contrary to my original pre-conception of them being a swarm of mindless noobs.
It's a fallacy to equate being new in game with being new in life.
You're not guilty of this, but I have seen numerous posts on this forum where "elder" players talk down to newer ones as if they were children. Or, having more veteran players assume that they are smarter then people starting off just because they started playing Eve back in '03/'04. The irony is that I would wager that statistically speaking the age distribution is probably about even as to when people first started playing eve, with maybe even a slight bias towards those joining later being older on average. Would be interesting to see CCP's membership data on this assuming that they collect it.
The annoying thing about all these flames is that I'm sure everyone could have a rip-roaring good time getting drunk together. But it would be funny in a sort of junior high school way if during the next fan fest all the corps just hung out together in their own little clique.
