Guys, we all know CJ isn't the best speller. OK. But he was making a valid point and I don't appreciate the personal commentary about his character.
Please look at the
rules and guidelines here (which are being updated shortly) and follow them. The mission of RD.net is to encourage new participation from Roy's engagement (with
our help, I hope) of outreach to new potential members of our community who DON'T have any history (of baggage) and will not want to participate in a forum replete with continued drama. That's the interaction of the past and will stay that way. We can't do it alone, we all must support each other especially when we passionately disagree.
This approach will be good for the vendors who contribute resources to the community, the new consumer, our extended community, and the industry in general. Please respect that, support that, it's in the long-term interests of everyone connected to our industry.
You guys were in the wrong and CJ was on the receiving end and that's not right. I certainly don't want the "baggage" of history on other communities past or present to continue here and if we all step back a bit, I suspect we will all agree about that principle and it should be without exception, especially with long-standing members of this community.
CJ has made many valuable contributions to our community and I trust will continue to do so.
So I am "rebuking" (some) of this exchange and want to (let this) serve as an example of what we all really don't want to start again here.
It's a new day gentlemen. Let's work towards unifying our community (and not continuing to work to undermine it) please.
Since I will be traveling, please the few mods/admins here MODERATE.
Sorry CJ for this. As long as you or others come here to participate in the spirit of helping to grow the knowledge of others, you will be welcomed here.
VG
