in order to distract us from their true self serving agendas.
To keep it on topic; although I did not know the people in question it is always too bad when someone that has knowledge to share decides to keep it to themselves. And as far as the politics go it never hurts to know what the other side is thinking. It's always amazed me how the relative anonymity of the internet causes some people to act in ways they never would in public.
When the conflict outweighs knowledge, I prefer status quo, as in the way the board used to be, and currently is, and has been since said departure. There is not one entity here or anywhere that I would (nor anyone) for the matter, any self-serving agenda for the sake of cheap sensationalism.
I liked Jim as well, but my opinion of him took a turn when it came to head and enough was enough. Hell, I even publicly loathed Terry (69Firebirdman) Since then, he and I have been close friends and chatted about many things. It took two idiots to stop and think, then PM each other and talk on the phone.
that reminds me of back in Jr High...there was a guy in a parallell class I couldnt stand...he didnt care for me either, and both of us were "tough" kids....we also both played on our class hockey teams.... one day he thru a slush ball (snow ball w ice pieces)on my friend...well, we got into it...had a fist fight on the school yard...one that was fierce and teachers eventually came out and broke it up...we were both bloodied and sent home....that same afternoon , our hockey teams met for a game ,we both were playing....many kids came to see it , because they had heard of the fight and expected to see a continuum....well, as we both arrived we said hi, started talking, one thing led to another and we became friends , after all we both had respect for ea other (long after that fight became the talk of the school), and we bacame friends....very good friends...funny how that works out.
