The Aviary - Home of The Bird of Prey

[Bird of Prey]

I also thought the offer was superior. However, the backing out lacked class. There was an alternative, you could have "run it by" Fred let him grant "approval" or not. then you wouldn't have been stepping on his toes and you wouldn't have looked like you do now.
I believe you made the offer because you could see that Fred and Joe weren't on the same page (I think Fred is using a different book) and (rightfully so) sought a solution. You suggestion was elegant and put all of the responsibility where it should have been, on Joe.
Additionally, the "Old Flame Warriors" bit doesn't sit well with me. It reeks of a hidden agenda. One that does not bode well for one old Bird. Given your misguided actions as described above, "trusting" you will prove difficult.
As with anyone I've always given trust and respect until they demonstrate that I should not do so. This is the second occasion (March, JXM) in which you have betrayed my trust.
Once, it's a Mistake. Mistakes can be corrected.
Twice, it's a Problem. Problems must be fixed.
Three times, It's a Habit. Habits will be broken.

My trust can be earned once lost. But don't try and make a Habit of breaking faith with me.
