pan--you seem to confuse disagreement with you and close-mindedness in general and then compound it by conflating disagreement with you and personal attack. because you do that, it kinda follows that you'd see rejection of your way of seeing a particular problem as an attack on your way of thinking--but it really is nothing of the sort--it's more that your way of seeing this particular question of "who can inspire as a leader" follows from assumptions about the relation of image to reality that are very much particular to yourself and which you open up for discussion by the way you framed the op.
everything you have written here since follows from your assumptions, as if they are not part of the discussion. most everything that you've generated in response to what you've written simply operates from other assumptions and reprocesses the material that you organized in one way in different ways.
there's no attack in it, so far as i can tell.
it's tedious that you seem so fond of taking discussions in this direction.
speaking for myself, i wish you'd stop doing it.
there is a potentially quite interesting debate here that you're smothering because you mistakenly think it's all about you.
it isn't.
