Being a History major, I can tell you that there is no such thing as a 'no spin
story.' Every narrative carries with it the prejudices and biases of the story
teller - every story has a point-of-view. In the West, we have worked very hard
towards a non-biased version of History, and so we write in a style that sounds
objective - and people expect balanced, nonbiased narratives of history.
Anyways, I wrote a version of the events (as alluded to), and shared it with
some friends for feedback, advice. I'll work up a finished version and post it
here tomorrow.
As I'm calming down, I'd like to point out that Kevin does have some good points
- some very important points - about how Lugnet is run and how it should be run.
However, like I said above, it is the way he is delivering those points that
muddles his intention. What could be constructive comes accross as destructive.
My wife has this beautiful quote on her computer: "Who you are is so loud that I
can't hear what you are saying." I lesson I should remember, too. But in this
case, I had hopes that Kevin wouldn't make his resignation public in the manner
that he did.

| (...) Understandable in light of the situation. However, heat of the moment replies have typically gotten me in trouble in the past (one word: draconian) which is why I waited to reply to Kevin's post. I think this is good advice for all Lugnet (...) (20 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
