A book of reviews with numbers and no biting comments would not be 'the confidential guide'. It is going to upset some people, maybe even TD could face a court case but it is what it is. The Castle Course comment I wonder if Tom might regret, I think it does him more harm than good and more likely to lose him a job than gain one but we all do silly things.
Adrian:
It's funny, I get accused of writing something to gain work and then you point out that I might lose a job, both as a result of the same comment.
In fact, the intent is neither -- I'm writing my reviews as a reviewer, not as an architect looking for work. It's amazing to me that no one can take that at face value, and that everyone is always looking for ulterior motives. I guess that's a sad reflection on the way of the world nowadays. There have been a few attacks against me now cloaked as "defending" someone else; in fact, all parties are perfectly capable of defending themselves if they feel it is warranted.
I go back to Peter's comment about the 100 people. Certainly 25 years ago, I wasn't one of them. I don't know whether he meant to include me, or not -- I still think of myself as an outsider; at least I certainly don't get invited to the Group of 100 meetings
