Ingroups and Outgroups at NAHBS
Interesting lead line in a story about NAHBS from Pez today :
"Simply put… This show was fun. While a couple of the better known builders have cultivated a rather “Lord Farkwad” like swagger, passion out-guns BS at NAHBS at the opposite ratio to virtually any other industry event." Anyone care to enlighten me on what he's talking about? Pez, care to elaborate? Last edited by caleb; 03-10-2009 at 12:40 PM.

Perhaps one way of using Pez's terms to phrase the question is, what is the Lord Farkwad swagger, and who is Pez saying walks that way?

He mispelled it. It's Lord Farquaad
From Wikipedia:
"Lord Farquaad is the comically short-in-stature, ruthless ruler of the huge castle of Duloc. Several times in the film it is commented that, in Duloc's towering height, Farquaad may be compensating for something. In his pursuit of perfection...."

Oh come on. In all likelihood, OP referring to the author's (not mine) perceived arrogance (insert your own adjective) of some of the builders exhibiting at NAHBS. The fact that the author didn't name who he thought belonged in this group is no surprise, is it? I was there and found everyone quite friendly and generous with their time.

I don’t think there should be a problem admitting that different builders, whether it be because of their time in the business, their personalities, or whatever, sometimes hang out with different crowds and give off a different vibe. They aren’t automatons. You can put a positive or a negative spin on it, or just accept it as human nature.

Is it just me or does Pez sort of set a double standard with the opening comments? I mean everything bicycle that Pez caters too is high end, elitest grade.
perceived arrogance is par for the course. Last edited by gemship; 03-10-2009 at 04:40 PM.

Today Pez comes out with an article that claims that some vaguely defined group is a bunch of jerks. I wasn't there, so I thought I'd ask others what's going on.
