Why the negativity in all your posts - surely you have better things to do all day.Too much time on your hands perhaps - are you glued to the bench?At least Zbigniew Brzezinski occasionally attempts (but always fails) to give some constructive advice.

I wish I was on the bench! As to my negativity.. I dunno... I guess I just have a pretty low stupidity-tolerance threshold.I'm not THAT negative, am I? I'd like some specific examples; I'd suggest that most of what I say is REAListic rather than negative. I do however accept that I tend to make short statements without much justification, which I guess is down to not having enough time to elaborate on my feelings and being too lazy to do so.Sorry if I've offended a lot of people though; and if anyone to whom I've directed comments feels like I've been wrong, feel free to let me know why I'm wrong, and I'll happy justify my 'points'. I'm guessing though that most people just ignore me. Which I'm fine with...!On a side note, wow, a thread about me, I feel famous...!Another side note, anyone know the feeling of having those amazing sh!ts, which last for ages, and you feel sooo cleansed afterwards? I love em! I feel so empty I need to eat again!

I haven’t noticed you being overly negative. And at least most of your posts aren’t laying into people like ZB. Although fame probably isn’t hard to come by on this forum, where there are perhaps 10 regular (ish) posters who use a consistent name. Nice point on the shiitting though.

Just when you thought the forum couldn't stoop to new shameful lows, I see new frontiers of stupidity and delusion.Face all of you programme management, change management, IT tranformation, IT strategy, SAP implementation charletons are just glorified admin staff..you really are. you have no technical skills and I question the veracity, usefulness and pertinence of anything that comes out of yous brains.Consultancy use to be a noble profession, now with the proliferation of ACN, IT merchants it has decended to new unimaginable lows.Think we need a cull..let rid the forum of all you prgramme management, change management, IT people....opps I forget: this would leave the forum virtually empty.ZB

What do you do ZB?

I work with this chap called Pear in events management

If you raelly are a strtagey cosnutlant, I snicreely hpoe you use yuor sepll cheker on cleint proopsals

lol, that's not the real ZB.

I think ZB is a combination of many different people. He's a fallacy, a myth if you like.

Apart from the first thread today, the other are all fakes, imposters...ACN project mangement, change management cowboys...probablyBut on a serious note..most of you dimwits all do this type of work, speaking in nebulous terms and basically glorifying the admin to levels which are unprecedented. I provoke this type of response, because I am right.By the way in answer to the first question..I work in strategy consulting (pure strategy consulting)..not the IT Strategy, process mapping rubbish that all you cowboys spew outZB

Either ZB is Pear's alterego or some cocaine fell into a petri dish of virulent bacteria and ZB grew out of it. Utter utter bollox. There are so many 'pure strat' consultants spewing out complete cr@p I find it exhausting sorting out the good ones.

Mars..you are job finder..or if you want to use a euphemism a 'recruitment consultant'.Of course you will find what I say wrong, after all it is in your interest to place as many of these dimwit admin people into these very consultancies. How can you have any credibility in this debate. I've heard the hyperbole you and your klan spew out about these consultancies when you try and dupe bleary-eyed twenty somethings into postsFace it - I'm right...don't you know consulting rates and wages are falling on an inflation-adjusted and disposal income % basis...this is a direct result of the industry wising up to the idea that these so-called advisors are nothing more than ACN project management charletons and hence pay them commensuratelyMars- I thought you a modicum of common sense and rationale...I suspect I may have been rather hasty in that assessmentZB

ZB, Your posts are worth every penny of the subscription to this site.Oh, wait....

Having used this forum regularly now for 6-7months I have noticed a sizeable increase in negativity/sarcasm from people replying since we have come back from xmas...Come one guys let us all go back to our pre-xmas selves :) Great forum tho, can't complain at all, it has helped me a lot!! So thanks to all those of you who regularly helped me and other - and let's keep it going strong!

What is the main thing you have learnt from this board?

Zb, what are your thoughts on sox contract consultants?

Zb???

Dear ZB,I suspect you were rejected by ACN some time ago. I sense a lot of biterness in your words. I feel you should use spell checker more frequently and dictionary.com less frequently.Me stupid ACN monkey, me no understand all your complicated vocabulary.Me thinks you should not treat yourself sooo seriously. I find your lack of respect disturbing.Gyd buy

ZB...heheh your funny.I'm quite sure you got burnt somehow how ACN - probably ACN PM/IT Strategy consultants f@#$@ you over when you were a client. Thats why your bitter against ACN. Anyway, I work for Dick Cheney, have a dog called Barney and ride horses in my larger than life texas ranch. A true charlatan? Yep that me alright.!!

hmmm, ZB, quite the enigma. You fire out a variety of posts and yet continue to spell like a bad spelling 8 year old and that's pretty bad ZB, oooh yes, that's pretty bad.Why the continued reluctance to improve your grammar?

I have more than a modicum of common sense and rationale as I am sure you do; the difference is I APPLY it and don't waste my time simply handing out anonymous abuse thinly disguised under the veneer of advice.But we have been here before I recall - with another poster - so I'll not say anything more to inflame the situation.

MARS - YOU DON'T NEED TO MENTION ME. EVERYONE CAN TELL I'M STILL AT THE FOREFRONT OF YOUR THINKING.THAT'S STILL CREEPY.ELITECLUBBING.NET

Mars - good riposte. I must admit I find the vast majority of the people here completely reasonable and sensible in their questions and opinions. However, you must admit there does seem to be a every increasing bunch or morons whose ask questions hardly deserve the dignity of a reasoned and cogitated reply. Thats why I pelt them with the verbial equivalent of an indain monsoon. For all of you ACN klan. I never have or intend to apply to aCN. I think you'll agree moving from BCG to ACN is the footballing equivalent of moving from Man Utd to say Wigan Ath. saying that I need a new challenge...true you'll get new challenges...but hardly the ones to need to advance your career.ZB
