{edit} Removed my comment. People may have taken it the wrong way.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

I think that any opinion that are well-formed and rational deserves to be heard and discussed, no matter how controversial. As long as it was not intended to be inflammatory, it should be considered part of a constructive dialog. I am very interested to know why Jeff decided to apply self-censorship.

Personally, I don't care what gender someone is, or what color they are, that is not important in my opinion in the workplace. What is really important is that they better pull their weight, or they're gone. Simple as that. Someone can have the greatest personality in the world but if other people are having to work harder to take up their slack, they are are going to be the first one to hit the street when the company starts looking for ways to streamline. End of story.. 😀

Indeed. Fairness is key. Unfortunately, many businesses do not put that principle to practice.

This was a great series of posts and I am going to risk controversy by saying that the post Steve wrote was the easiest to relate to - probably because I am a man.

Steve,

Both in person and in your editorial today, you directly addressed the elephant in the room, the subject we all skirted: sex, and the issues surrounding it. This is one of the big issues, and it says a lot that none of us - the editorialists AND the commenters - felt comfortable bringing the subject up. I'm now inspired to blog...

Jeff, I promise not to take either of your comments the wrong way. I too am curious. Unfortunately I can not speak for others. I appreciate your honesty and thoughtfullness in recinding your comments.

On the article and previous articles. I agree that no matter who you are as long as you provide input, inflammatory or not, indicates you are, hopefully, at least engaged in the game. If you input is inflammatory I hope that those listening do not take the bait and help you to shape your thinking into a more palatable presentation so that your views can also be considered on their merit. What we are speaking of hear I think is really "team thinking". It takes good management and good players and a shared vision to pull it off.

Thanks, and I've been struggling for how to write this for the better part of this year. I wanted to do this in the spring, and couldn't find words to express my thoughts. However in some conversations over the summer with people, I started to get some idea of how I felt, and then in reading the wonderful guest editorials from Wendy, Julie, Jen, and Jessica, I finally came up with this a few weeks ago.

And now I'm looking forward to reading what you write.

It was good talking to you, and Wendy, recently about this. Helps me to better understand how you view things.

Steve and the editorial writers who contributed this week:

Thank You!

I enjoyed and thought about the editorials as they came out this week. Very good writing and thank you for expressing ideas and facts of life that many folks just do not understand, accept or even realize they are important. Certainly reminded me to continuously strive to improve my relations with my team members, fellow employees and the public we all serve here at the County. Kudos to all!
