A great speech by Larry here - but I just wanna add my encouragement. Live
and let learn here - I've had too much frustration with this group over the
last four years, but I've stuck with it. There are many times that I get
very upset with people here - and feel like venting, kinda like you did
today.
Jeremy - you're part of the lifeblood of this community - I know people here
can get under one's skin, but is it really worth leaving over this argument?
Please don't leave - take a while to cool off if you need to, but remember,
we want you here.
For you who decide to lay into this guy after he's taken this pretty tough -
shut up. Though I disagree slightly with his original actions, that doesn't
help anything for you to come in and deepen his frustration by trolling at
his post today. I'm disappointed in you - that's not what this community is
about. Jeremy's contributed a heck of a lot to this group these past few
years - he deserves more respect than that.
