I know this is a rough situation, but perhaps there are real merits to the decision that I wish we could've seen discussed in the post. For example, I went ahead and watched a few of the videos from his internet course and very quickly

Often feeling that any criticism of your work is unfair can blind you to what the real criticism is. Yeah, there's probably a few folks who you can't win over no matter what. But, there are also valid and real takeaways that colle
