[QUOTE="NorthWestCheeseHead, post: 492666, member: 8665"] My quip about not selling items online was meant in jest as well and intended to illustrate that you should stop trying to tell me about me before you know what I'm about. The italics was more of a clue, but I thought I saw the double quotes; obviously though, I was mistaken. I never claimed to be able to divulge GJ's [FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]decision making process..All I said was:[/COLOR][/FONT] I'm only talking about the attitude that I've seen him exemplify in interviews and articles written about the situation. I'm well aware of what Tbone was saying, and in my replies all I've ever contended is that he has no basis to be speaking for me in such a "matter of fact" manner. And the implication by him that I was in any way jealous of GJ and his pay checks was insulting. And really you guys balking over me labeling Gj "greedy" I find highly irrational mostly because the only thing y'all have used to refute my claims is to state that, [I]'I would do the same in his shoes'[/I], in essence. As well, "all things being equal" was never stated in Tbone's post. Be that the case though, I still think that the example is only applicable as an academic thought exercise and not reflective of the real world. In life there are a slew of points to consider prior to accepting a job offer, even if the only difference is money - which would never be the case mind you. And your contention that it is how everyone handles their business is a pretty generalized notion, I don't think you have the credibility to speak on the behalf of 6 billion people or their motivations in their respective career advancement moves. And no, I've never spoke for Jennings. I've only ever talked about my perceptions of the situation, and how I felt about it. I actually do understand how negotiating works, at least from an academic and theoretical standpoint. As for the practical I'm not so great at it, I think, so I don't really dabble in it all too much.
