Obtuse! Oh. Good word.
The only ones around here confused are the guys who navel gaze around a feckless leadership and won't speak what we all are thinking.
Either they are an impotent pushover in the face of an aggressive opponent or they choose to play nice and allow themselves to be pushover and hope for the best.
I've never asked for an illegal action. Just a more forward leaning posture.
Or we can just keep pretending they are doing everything right, have no room for improvement, and wait another year for them to finally be handed an offer and give congratulations all around?
