    And as a mod I don't think you should be abusing other posters.
    I hold up a general garment. You pronounce it a perfect fit. Also, you're being a bit precious. 1) you said MarkyMark's question was reasonable, which, given a certain amount of thought and the benefit of experience, it isn't 2) The concussed Bee comment was aimed at MarkyMark, as he was the one who suggested the question was stupid, and, furthermore, concussed Bee was a play on words, since Bee is the poster.

    However, if you're feeling hurt and offended that I take it all back. You haven't the intelligence of a concussed Bee.

      It's perfectly reasonable. You might think it's wrong as it's his opinion but it's reasonable to ask. Saying it was stupid was far more out of order.

      Markymark said it was poppycock. It was Bee that said it was stupid.

      However, if you're feeling hurt and offended that I take it all back. You haven't the intelligence of a concussed Bee.
      Yeah I should thin.... Hang on a minute.... Whaaaat?!!?

        You already said you agreed in some cases it does hold true; i.e. some clients wouldn't care if it was on the CV or not?
        So it is reasonable in some cases, correct?

        As for saying its true for people in demand, not necessarily true, it depends on exactly what you do. I have had some pure remote roles and ones that required periods of people all working on site together.

        Wrong enough for an infraction, unfortunately, still not the first time NATs moderation has been "well suspect", as they used to say in Essex

          You got an infraction for that? I thought I was unpopular with the mods!

          What did you put that was snipped? You sure it wasn't for swearing? I would hope Bee got one as well if that was the case.

              No, I prefer to be on site, but following the topic of this thread and if you want to continue to have WFH roles I would put for the reasons I pointed out.

              Yes, if I manage a team or a project remotely from the office, it's important to mention in the CV because it became a common practice.

                    Little bit disingenuous there.

                    As you are well aware, obviously, you got an infraction for the acronym. Not for the opinion. If it makes you feel any happier, you weren't the only one infracted over this

                      Not really as I stated that I thought that was the reason in my post. I didn't know an acronym could be considered an infraction.

                      As for some of your previous moderations, against me being a bit Iffy, I stand by that.

                      As I said, no sweat, let's leave it at that.
