• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.
  • The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.

And if you take the high road and the intellectual path, describing a person’s mental blind spots with terms such as confirmation bias or cognitive dissonance, your target will claim you are actually the one suffering from those cognitive errors, and the discussion goes nowhere.

Long before Dilbert or Scott Adams were particularly notable, we wrote to Scott asking where was his office in our facility being downsized for Dilbert extraordinary familiarity with our circumstances. I still remember and appreciate Scott’s supportive comments twenty-five years later.
