I actually liked some of what he had to say in the gongfu poll - I didn't see his comments as antagonistic, and I didn't see it as turning it into a crisis, but rather just intellectualized it a bit. I was a little ambivalent about the bit about defining gongfu, though - I thought he took that a little too far without contributing his own thoughts - but I saw the rest as valid points to be considered that added more than detracted from the thread.hop_goblin wrote:Yeah, I know whta you mean. He does take is comments very seriously which make him appear to be some kind of tea zealot. I remember one time not too long ago where he totally took a simple poll of mine on gongfu and totally blew it out of porportion. Laughing
I mean, obviously you just wanted some light fun with whether people brewed gongfu style or not, but discussing these kinda things is why we're here
After all, it's not like he acted like Tenuki making sideways comments that nobody there knew anything about anything.To me it just basically sounds like not knowing when to stop. I rather enjoy talking to him, both here and on IM, but I guess I can see that a bit. The main thing I've seen on here is when someone really isn't listening to or getting the answers to their questions, and he loses all patience and tact. In the times I've seen it it just made me laugh because I could fully sympathize, but I wouldn't do the same myself.bearsbearsbears wrote:Like many people into tea, Will feels that if you don't agree with him, it means he's failed to convince you of why you're wrong, so he keeps trying...on some occasions not very tactfully.
