What happened, happened and it’s over. I know how you feel, Lou, we were side by side at CAP during all the growth and I totally understand how hard it must be for you not to post.
I cannot believe that Michael did not know what would happen, I think you were deliberately played. I didn’t show for a couple of GPWA meetings even though I theoretically was welcome and was right next door – because I knew the mess it would create if I had. There are a couple of GPWA members who would have lost it, and I knew it.
Michael knows you well enough to know you blow your top and get angry. It was deliberate. You were an easy, predictable target and the disruption was intentional. That is the logic I see.
I agree that you need to go to the conferences. You have a great personality and you know your stuff and CAP will always need you. I also agree you should take a break from CAP posting, I am sure the biz in the background will more than take up your time.
We need to dispell some of the crap going around, we need to stop banning folks and deal with issues as they come up. Forums thrive on a bit of controversy anyways, and we can have polite discussions of anything, even with some belligerent folks involved, we can keep them posting politely and disband their opinions as long as mods are equally polite and work in tandem.
Besides, CAP is getting a bit boring, everyone agreeing to everything all the time is not really good for a board.
So what will happen with Grand Prive now? When are you going to SA?
