Edit: Was I whining? Or was I challenging the readers to see if there anyone who wants to help me lead. The term "whining" insinuates disrespect. I think it is correct for me to return disrespect with mutual disrespect.
No disrespect was intended. It was more of a suggestion to pursue actions more likely to produce a desired outcome (see previous sentences). That may include continuing with the existing approach, even while observing its failure to date. Persistence is sometimes useful.
