you know you wouldn't get somuch pushback if you were rational and objective in your perspectives. but when you constantly COMPARE this company to one that has done EVERY SINGLE Thing right since it was founded 12 or so years, well you are going to get pushback. because FACTS matter. On the other hand, if you admitted that this once excellent company COMPLETELY lost its way over the last 5 and 10 years by sitting around twittlling their thumbs, while sitting on their laurels, you would get agreement, and possibly some constructive analysis on how to get back on track.
in short if you act sensibly and rationally and don't post inane opinions, the board will be a far better place.
