Being positively obstructionist doen't entail failing to see the merits of the opposing view .


No, it just presents an obstruction to getting something done – like the lady who stood in the checkout counter of the supermarket the other day while her scatter-brained daughter was sent off to find an item the lady had forgotten. After what seemed like an eternity (and an ever-growing queue) said scatter-brained returned empty-handed so the superviser had to be sent for and the queue got even longer.

The problem lies not only with the lady, who didn’t give a monkey’s about the inconveniencing she was causing to the dozen or so people behind her, but also to the inflexible system of the supermarket that can’t allow other customers through.

I suppose you could call that ‘positively obstructionist’ (though I could probably find a stronger word for it :-)
