disinterest: people who can't admit when they're wrong

Faux pas #78636; turns out you can only select one of the radio buttons on that last box, and one can't edit a poll! And so, go ahead and just check one.



[Poll #626294]



And then I'll stare at these answers and do some highly unprofessional analysis and post some more questions tomorrow, along with some general rambling on people who admit they're wrong and people who ARE wrong and people who are dumber than other people. Watch this space!

On the beta question: what happens with betas is this--I'll beg someone smart to beta for me, and then, when I get their message, I'll read it once, very quickly, and feel very hurt and defensive, and then go away and do something else for a bit and think on what they've said, and then come back the next day and read it for real and go make the changes I agree with, which are usually almost all of them. I have to sidestep my ego, coddle it a bit, but I can work around it.

Yep, this is me, too. Although less "defensive" than "incredibly depressed." I need at least a day to regain some perspective and understand that just because I make mistakes, it doesn't mean I'm a complete hack.
