Please present concrete proof that management did not think he had attitude problems around that time frame. Back it up
You're asking me to prove a negative?

The onus is on the person making the claim, the burden of proof is on you. You can't just turn it around and make it an appeal to ignorance. I think you've gone full loony here. That's not the way it works, on Calgarypuck or in life.

No, it isn't. It's asking the person who said something to back it up with evidence.
