Comments on: Scaring the shit out of clients http://stilgherrian.com/human-nature/scaring_clients/ All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography.

My colleague and I re-read our message just now, and we didn't attack any person or persons. It was all about the process and the project. In the unofficial responses we've received so far, people have said they were shocked. "We all found the tone of the email disconcerting," said one. But no-one asked us to explain any of the issues we raised, and no-one logged into our intranet to read our notes. @Fiona: You’re spot on when you say “what ppl don’t like are those who try and make out that they’re better than others”.
