Beesties Observations

[Cyclefrance]

Go along with the core of the last two comments. Not sure why there is a beef about Bruce. From my (relatively) short time here, I have noticed that Bruce makes the effort to interact where many would not, and he is as competent with a full blooded analysis of a situation as he is with a one-liner. Haven't seen any malicious commentary initiated by him at all, myself.

Worth noting also: it's not easy to introduce objective comment into an emotional situation - someone is likely to misinterpret and put a slant on it that isn't there/intended - same goes for trying to make a witty comment too. Too easy to get hold of the wrong end of the stick in these situations. and law of averages will also play its part whetever, as some expressed observations are obligated to fall on stony ground.

What I would add in Bruce's case is that, having gained some insight into the genuineness of the guy, I would unerringly give him the benefit of the doubt on such occasions.
