My experience is completely different. People that shout during the meetings are usually the same people that don't listen to other people enough to understand the problem and continue to promote their idea of "corrections" no matter the facts.
- desbo 11y agoIt's really not a black and white thing. People that shout can be right or wrong, the same goes for people that are less assertive about making their point. The focus should be on the point that's being put forward, not the way it was expressed.
- stephenr 11y agoWhen I say "fight and argue to make their point" I mean someone who can actually put forward points in an argument. Someone who yells "we need Mongo because it's Webscale" at the top of his/her lungs isn't going to "win" an argument - they have no substance to their argument.
