[ETA: sorry for all the caveats… specifically, I do use judgy language, but don’t endorse the judgements, but don’t want to change the language.] [The following if taken as a judgement is very harsh and basically unfair, and it would suck to punish Geoff for having conversations like this. So please don’t take it as a judgement. I want to get a handle on what’s up with Geoff, so I want to describe his behavior. Maybe this is bad, LMK if you think so.] It was often hard to listen to Geoff. He seemed to talk in long, apparently low content sentences with lots of hemming and hawing and attention to appearance, and lots of very general statements that seemed to not address precisely the topic. (Again this is unfairly harsh if taken as a judgement, and also he was talking in front of 50 people, sort of.)
I don’t think it’s bad of you. It seemed to me that he was deflecting or redirecting many of the points Anna was trying to get at.
