I did not use this metaphor to strengthen the argument (my arguments have enough merit in this situation on their own) or make him look bad, but a description of how it looks to us on the outside and to shake L&P up, how he comes across. And considering the jokes in the thread, just look at the one just above, I am not the only one seeing it as it is.Calling L&P a "comatose slug" does not strengthen your argument or make him look bad. Instead it just makes people, even those who would agree with many of your points, roll their eyes.
A wolf stays a wolf, even if he has no appetite for sheep today! I know there are regions, e.g. the Anglosphere, where everything critical has to be packaged in pink fuzz and fake friendliness, but if L&P is really a German, then he should get the gist of a giving it straight to you better. Namely that currently he is an absoluter Lahmarsch, who is sabotaging himself in the long run with this ultra-slow pace and overfocussing on the Kleinklein (unimportant minutia)!
