Hi Andreas If you go into a conversation with people, where you are asking something of them, then insulting them is probably not the best place to start.
The organisations you are seeking to engage exist because of collective goodwill, often in little corners of government or business where you can sometimes find a human being who values what the organisation is seeking to achieve. Ego's are part of all human interaction and the creative arts does seem to foster big ones. However, successful collective action, which most organisations rely upon, usually depends on the subsuming of individual ego for the collective good. This is true in all sectors of the creative arts and probably true in most other domains of human interaction. It is usually those individuals who are unwilling (or unable) to put aside their personal agendas who screw up collective action. Mind you, there are always individuals who are maddeningly egotistic, even brutal, who run successful organisations - but then you hear how horrible they are to work with... Must be horrible to think you only have friends because they fear you.
