I'm not saying that it's not true a lot of the time as I do believe a lot of good ideas do meet initial resistance, by all means I think that people should be as creative as they can. I just think that the one thing that we are all looking for is validation (especially in an idea rich environment such as this) and that such a blanket statement as "all good ideas are initially resisted" can be misleading, especially if someone misinterprets it as "my idea is being resisted, therefore it must be a good idea"... As Iggy Pop once sang (please excuse the language, but it is probably appropriate) if it looks like shit, sounds like shit, it must be shit But in all seriousness, I wasn't meant to overanalyze the point, I was just trying to provide commentary on why I don't think it is as black and white as was laid out in the post and it only applied to that single point. Thanks for motivating me to explain it a little better, +1 for you!
