| Nov 20, 2021 at 17:13 | comment | added | Lambie | @tchrist Sorry, but apparently I can't chat. The Spanish suspended me (unjustly, imo), my chatting ability was suspended then across all sites. I contacted the powers that be who corrected this (only disallowing chat in the Spanish forum), and now I see I can't chat with you in the ELU chat. So back to square one. :) Sorry to post this here but I didn't know where else to post it. Getting slightly miffed by all this. | |

| Nov 20, 2021 at 16:55 | comment | added | AncientSwordRage | @EdwinAshworth they may be exact duplicates, I will check them out | |
| Nov 20, 2021 at 16:50 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | At least near-duplicates: What do you call the behaviour where someone is a bit too hasty and takes an act ...? // What do you call a person that goes to extreme ends to accomplish a goal?. | |
| Nov 20, 2021 at 16:26 | comment | added | AncientSwordRage | @DjinTonic bulldozing is closer, but that qualified expression is not a phrase in itself | |
| Nov 20, 2021 at 16:16 | comment | added | DjinTonic | If the consequences are drastic, bulldozing a path toward progress might be more appropriate than forging one. You could qualify an existing expression, e.g., The researchers brashly forged ahead, breaking new ground, but with little diplomacy. | |
