With all the recent activity and opinions being expressed on the Forums, I thought it might be a good time to set the record straight. Many have called my actions “arrogant” and/or short sighted with regards to the advice offered by others. With that said, please follow along and answer this question.
Let’s say you own a Home and have decided to add an Addition to it. While working on this project, your Neighbor “Bob” goes out of his way to approach you and tells you that he doesn’t like the design you have chose for your Addition. Bob then proceeds to lecture you about what you should have done and how he would have approached your project. You explain your intentions but Bob continues to argue and impose his differing views regarding your efforts. A few days later you are told by another Neighbor that Bob has been gossiping to other people about how arrogant and closed minded you are. Bob is saying this because you wouldn’t change your opinions, about your project, to agree with his point of view. Keep in mind that it’s your Home, your money and your time being spent to build YOUR Home Addition.
With that said, who is the “arrogant” one in that scenario? Is it the person minding their own business and doing what they want with their property or the Neighbor that decides to put their nose in someone else’s business and push their agenda? I would say the “arrogant” one is “Neighbor Bob” who seems to think that his opinion should dictate and rule what others do with their property. So the next time someone like “Bob” suggests that I’m being “arrogant” for not succumbing to the opinions of strangers on a Forum, (regarding how I handle/view my 4 Door Project) ask yourself who is actually the “arrogant” one.
