He may not have missed anything. It could be that those he was trying to work with were unwilling to accept compromise on their side. I'm speculating. But the point I'm making is that it can't be one sided. Just hearing about this individual's efforts make me wonder how long people like this can maintain the energy to see things through. My hope is that people will begin to see that no one wins when we approach collaboration with an adversarial mindset. We don't have to all agree but we can find common ground. But it can't be one sided. That's not common ground. That's submitting.
