May the first person that has never made a "speeling" mistake cast the first
(tongue in cheek) inflamMatory spellcheck.
snipped the rest (since it's just one post above)
Hello,
You brought up some interesting points, but I am a bit confused.
I know both Larry, and Chris, and both of them (even when their attitudes, the
way the "come off" or spelling/grammar doesn't show it) are extremely
intelligent and very well read. So one can mock all they want, but IMO that
does not solve any problems or resolve any issues.
IMO, this should not be about the people involved but the issues themselves.
When we (myself included) make it personal, by attacking or crediting the person
instead of the issue we have lost any hope of having a productive conversation.
You bring up the issue of Chris using the word "forced" When caught between a
rock and a hard place it often feels one is being "forced".
Again it's a matter of choice of word, we can nitpick them to death, or just
take them at face value.
You also bring up "privileges" but this isn't yahoo, it is Lugnet. Lugnet is not
only the centre of the fan base, but also prides itself in being different than
many newgroups/forums. As I see it, it is the rules here, are what are in
question.
Then we come to the "fly your kite somewhere else"
that is quite frankly where I don't understand your point. Chris was making his
point, and regardless of how anyone feels about it, he did not make his point
here or comments here, until it was brought to attention of the membership here.
It was made public in an area that Larry frequents often, so it certainly was
not behind his back. Then at the request of Lugnet (Todd's post) he said he
would respect his wishes, and cancelled his contest, making that both apparent
here and there. Now after the fact, people are complaining that he should "fly
his kite elsewhere" or that he should be "ashamed". Well fact was, he was
flying his kite elsewhere, and fact is, he is complying for the best of Lugnet
(re Todd's request). Attacking Chris's attempt to prove a point, to me is no
different than him, me or anyone else "attacking" anyone. Everyone is
frustrated, everyone wants the best for the community, and everyone has their
ideas of how that should work. It is this "after effect" of kicking someone
makes no sense to me.
I see it this way, lets just say, a police officer puts me in a
compromising/conciliatory/mollifying situation, am I going to take it to a
common ground where we are equal? Or am I going to run into the police station
calling foul!!! ..... I, for one am for taking it to the common ground, a place
where I have just the same rights he does. More than likely I still am going to
lose out, after all, I am JUST a citizen, and he is the "well respected"
officer, but common sense tells me I'm going to have more of a chance of
winning/survival/a hope in heck, where he is not above the law, nor has a room
full of back up.
Look, both Chris and Larry are extremely intellectual, spend hours promoting the
hobby, and very stubborn. (They both know I feel this, since I have told them
that both to their faces.) Larry and Chris are also both respected members of
the community, that often do not see eye to eye on many things. Does that make
one of them better or more important? Not in my world. In my world, everyone
is valid and everyone handles stress and arguments in there own way, and it is
our choice to accept or deny that. I don't see where it helps to make this a
card carrying love festival for either of them and I actually see harm in doing
so.
Lets mock and pick our fights against those that build with peas, toothpicks or
straws (oops that would be me, you can make cool bridges that way) instead of
each other.
