At the time he recounted a story about the start of TCO, when all he had was a three point plan: 1) Make more than we spend. 2) Give a little bit back. 3) Don’t work with arseholes. A good ethos for life, I’ve thought ever-since.

And whatever you might think of the individual, the work TCO is producing is worth taking a look at.

Another interesting Mumbo report.

Ta.

I personally disagree with those comments and was close to moderarting them. However, they are comment/ reaction to something Clive said in the video so from that point of view it is (just) legitimate comment.

If he’d said he once went out with a one legged nurse but got dumped and will never go out with another one again you may take a different view. It would be quite funny though.

And to your other point – anonymity. Is’nt that a significant benefit of these blog forums that people can give an opinion with fear of the usual cosnequence. As long as we dont revert to personal abuse – which I dont believe I did. But I respect your opinion to differ and the fact that you obviously know and respect this guy.

Criticism of work, systems, ideas etc. Fair game.

Petty or defamatory personal comments on people or personalities within the industry, especially by people not prepared to go on record…how is this not subject to moderation?

You also said “he revealed himself to be something of an insecure and vain self-important misogynist “. Where exactly is the benefit of the doubt in that? Anyone who knows Clive knows how much BS that is.

I don’t know you @gezza. But because you are hidden behind a pseudonym I’m going to assume you’re not prepared to publicly stand up for yourself which I do believe says something beyond doubt about your character.

Obviously you’ve never met Clive or you’d know he is one of the most spectacularly decent human beings in this industry. Your comments could not be further from the truth.

And he puts his name to the things he is passionate about and believes in. It would certainly never be his style to hide behind anonymity so as to rip apart someone he doesn’t know, on an industry based forum.

Let’s give his project and motivation the B of the D, and hope it doesn’t turn out to be another vehicle for self promotion and media self congratulation – ie Earth Hour 2.

You may need to go back to body language school.

Clieve is spectacularly hard work to interview because his mind is working in a million different directions at once. But that’s what makes him interesting.

And the Global Poverty Project is an amazing idea which is undoubtedly benefitting from his energy. When that starts to get international attention in the following months (which I’m pretty sure it will), just remember that you saw Clive talk about it here first!

You can see the resentment bubbling up to the surface around the time Clivey Baby steps off his gimp box to check that Tim is still following – ‘do you get the paradigm’.

His opening about the attractive model revealed his spectacular expertise as a douche. I’m surprised he didn’t do the interview in an Ed Hardy t-shirt.

Actually if he ever comes back – can I put in a request that you wear an Ed Hardy t-shirt while interviewing him Tim?

@jojo – another thing on the opening credits, I have also often wonderd whether Tim is indulging in an ‘air sip’ from an actually empty mug, or if indeed there is fluid in the vessel, when he sips on his beverage in the titles
