CTD, that post was as well written as that excellent newsletter you are the editor of.
Thank you, for both.

Hey Vertical Mag this CTD fella might make a great interview for the personal profiles section of your uptown rag!

After all he is a movie star!

More's the pity, nu? When we lose any input (except the personal bashing) on here, we're all losers. When we lose some as knowledgeable and authoritative as CTD's, it's definitely time to take stock. My knickers have been as hot as anyone's over some of the character assassination that's been the norm here lately and, as in anything else, when there's trouble I look to management. That's where the buck stops. Kyle, I know you're a busy man, with many other oars in the water, but I think you let things get too far out of hand in here this year. I'm reminded of the NHL when a referee like Andy van Hellemond makes a value judgement to let the 'boys' play until things get out of hand. To me, at least, the role of the referee, moderator, or manager is to arrest the negative momentum before it takes on the proportions of disaster, and when we start losing, for what I sincerely believe to be absolutely valid reasons, input from the likes of CTD (or, let's say, cap, blackmac, Charles W or grease monkey) we've really 'lost it.' I left here for a few months earlier on for quite similar reasons (and no, I don't think I'm any great loss - just one who cares about our industry) and I can't seem to marshall for myself arguments to stay on. Hopefully, if blackie can't retrieve his fumbled(?) ball, someone else will pick it up (as he's so often suggested) and take it across the line. In the meantime, let's try and keep it cleaner, gang, and Kyle, blow that whistle more often, won't you? See you at the bowser at sundown. B)

I could not agree with you more, and from now on, I will be a blowing it, that tis for sure.

I will be contacting those that have moderated and wish to moderate and we will all try to bring this conversation to a new level.

Absolutly! CTD your comments are always welcome. Even after 27 years of "leaving the earth" to earn a living, there is still plenty to learn from the others on this forum.

Why do we need to get so defensive when someone posts their opinion, which may differ from ours? Don't remember anything in the rules of the forum that said I had to accept whatever was posted, regardless of what it is.

To those who "know it all", there is not much room (or need) in this forum for you. Lets keep it above the table and act like the professionals that we want other to think we are...

let's all shake hands and be friends....."K"??

Perhaps it's also the issue of anonymity? Things seem a whole lot more respectful when people don't know who they're talking to, which is actually quite sad. Maybe we could get the boys/girls who have left due to this rash of immaturity to come back under a new callsign and get this forum back to the way it was a year or so ago...

 

[Kyle]

I am going to close down this topic since it seems all points that could be made, have been made.

Let's get this new energy into some new conversations.

Cheers!
