243129My meaning was that I tried the nicey-nice route with the company. I was explaining to Charlie that it doesn't work with Amtrak.
Sorry for assuming the worse! That's my fault entirely.
Reading between the lines of the account of the guy running the Amtrak training facility -- who should be one of Joe's principal targets, if anyone -- you have a thirtysomething sort of guy who has learned just enough that he relies on his tech people and outside 'experts' for the systems, approaches, lesson plans and methodologies, etc. that he implements in his program. You might have to learn and use some of his chosen jargon to impress him enough to adopt the things you think are important, both in the short and longer term, both as part of the training approach and in terms of providing positive learning, encouragement, etc. after they are out of 'school' but still learning every day...
Maybe use a pseudonym and re-edit so the text no longer has your tell-tale fingerprint on it.
I don't want to sound like I am attacking you but it's pretty clear that around Amtrak corporate offices, you are about as welcome as the bubonic plague.
Idiocy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!

The correct saying is the definition of insanity, not idiocy. In either case, it's rude.

But that's also a distressingly similar description of the Monte Carlo method...
I concur that it is rude, and in context might well be the 'next thing' to trolling, considering the change in sense that goes with the change in word.
Who might you be referring to?
243129 BaltACD Idiocy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Who might you be referring to?
Anyone that does the same thing over and over and over again and achieves the same results as they obtained the first, second and third times - etc.
You did not answer the question so let me rephrase it. Who specifically are you referring to when you make that statement?

Joe: Don't waste your time with responding to his sniping.

Don't waste your time or mine. Generic statement, if the shoe fits............

You made that statement pertaining to the subject matter on this thread. Now that you have been confronted it is clear that you lack the cojones to back up what you infer and to whom you are referring to. Why am I not surprised?

If you want everything to be about you - it is. If you don't it isn't. Simple concept.
Idioicy is still idiocy in doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
Maybe you should heed your little maxim yourself, Balt. Everything Joe posts, you snipe at. It's tedious.

Your non answers to my direct questions attest to the fact that you have no cojones.

Gee - I did Dale Carnegie about 30 years ago, it should help one get a grip on themselves. Moved on and competed in a few Toastmasters Speach contests.
BaltACD... it should help one get a grip on themselves.
Good entry for the 2020 Yogi Berra parody quote contest!
(Can someone tell me what 'speach' is? Is that like Muzak for automating the inevitable string of toasts at dinner parties?)
