And THAT’S the crux of why LUGNET is at least partly broken. The admins don’t trust (some of) the users and (some of) the users (not necessarily the same ones) don’t trust the admins.

OK let me put it another way, if it’s worth creating a P&P doc, it’s worth assuring the users they will be listened to.

Yeah, I don’t believe this. The LPRV is a great example. The Admins gathered a group of people and said, we trust you guys! We want to know what you think! And then, seemingly out of nowhere, they started accusing the Admins of creating a rubber stamp committee.

If you don’t trust me, then no matter HOW many times I say “I want to listen” - you will always think I’m lying to you.. or being sarcastic or whatever. I’ve seen it happen quite a few times. This is an excellent example - Scott accuses me of being insincere when I was trying to reassure. What then?

Well, as long as it was Scott, it was easy enough to disregard. It was just Scott, after all, noted button pusher.

But when we get this mistrust from people we used to respect before they wigged out, or people we still do want to respect for their contributions, despite their personal attacks, that’s more serious, isn’t it?

Is saying someone wigged out a personal attack? Is it beaving to a different standard? DOesn’t sound like you are unpholdin’ to you own rules. You commiteed to do better.

Well, Lenny, Larry and I have had some conversations, especially when the LPRV was first formed, and he acknowledged that he felt that Admins should be held to a higher standard hat on, or hat off. So Larry beleives there should be a double standard. He gave a solumn promise then, and I beleive hes trying his bes to uphold that promise now.

Not everthing I try to say is to “push” buttons, and I’m not trying to use something from a private email to beat him up with.

Larry questioned my integrity on a few points, and I’ll say it again, he was right. I’ve tried to point out my mistakes for all to see, and correct them when I can. Larry did me a favor questioning my integrity, and I’ve done what I can to rectify the situation, including defending Larry in this forum by stating that the “abusive email” charge was wrong. My emotions got the better of me. I’m human.

You may not believe me, but I’d like to get to a positive resolution on this topic. I’m not on a witch hunt, I’m trying to be heard. If I felt heard why would I keep talking? I can think of a hundred things I’d rather do that debate this stuff.

Larry, if you took my statements above as button pushing, it was not mean as such, I was returning the favor you did me when you rightfully questioned my integrity.

This has been a pretty tough situation for Larry, but so far I would give him pretty high marks for his efforts at living to a higher standard.

Kevin
