Rick,

Nicely said.  It's good to challenge and to explore issues.  When that is done on a public forum it does sometimes look more like a publicity gambit then a real concern.  A simple suggestion.  Unless there is a real need to open the discussion to the larger group, person to person emails can resolve questions without forcing people to try to save face.

Like Rick, my opinion of the group doesn't support the kind of exchange I saw.

Putting that behind us.

This is to everyone.....

 

I've been in meetings almost all day and had a conference call this evening. I was trying to keep up with the email flamers today but didn't get to really go back and read everything until tonight.

 

The tone of the email exchange today on ODV was uncalled for. It was unacceptable. It was disappointing. I have never seen anything like it in all of my years on the Board. I want it to stop.

 

You can get your message across and still be civil. You can get your message across and still be respectful. You can even get your message across with a little spit and gunpowder thrown in, but you don't have to be an ass doing it.

 

You are a collection of extraordinary people. We are better than I saw today.
