"He's relentlessly promoted himself..."

How is that?



Surely that's not a bad thing. Humility isn't a bad thing in a person but in business it's not a helpful attribute. At least when TC started he was the business, so self-promotion was a must.


I don't really know how to respond to that in less than a thousand words, so let's just say:

1. because he obviously has 2. I consider this to be generally accepted as truthful 3. if you don't agree then we are probably not going to agree on anything, ever

and leave it at that. This is probably breaching some law of argument ("Fallacy of Call to Common Sense" or something?) but hey, who has the time.


There really isn't a response to what you wrote other than to concede that I believe that I can't provide a reasonable response to what you wrote.


Okay
