The meaningful difference between behavior that is "self-promoting" versus behavior that is "open" and/or "educating" can be difficult to ascertain from the outside. I believe it's useful to use empathy, or at least signals of empathy as a guide. Self-promoters will ultimately exhibit a primary focus on "self" (themselves), whereas people working in the open will tend to exhibit honest interest in the perspectives of others. Ryan, you may be assertive, possibly direct, definitely passionate (why I follow you) but I'd not label you as a self-promoter. You consistently take care to give due credit and provide context around your analysis and conclusions. These are aspects of adult dialog, ha-ha even if it does concern JS, and I encourage you to continue your course. Thanks for your article.
