edit: Snackster:
i know you take a disproportionate amount of heat for anything & everything that some don't like about Wave, wavx, this bored, whatever.
i don't personally ascribe anything & everything to you, far from it. IMO you are a tireless leader of a loyal group that has millions at risk & gets its dander up when challenged. i fully understand that as well as the long & painful road the "turtles" have trudged to get to what many of them believe to be the praecipice.
maybe i overstated my position on BTK, but i definitely think he was treated as a scourge for posting his worries & opposition to certain aspects of the company.
i wrote quickly & was offended when i saw him labeled a "basher." wasn't taking issue w/you @ all.
the guy held the stock for about 5 years & probably sold out @ a loss. he made intelligent criticism his forte & that leads to unpopularity in these parts, akin to telling someone their baby is ugly or something!
the *real* "spin" was calling him a basher IMO.
yes, you are my friend Snack & i have more than once noted your restraint on deletions (which i think could extend farther than it does, but it ain't my bored).
i refused to join the DDers years ago b/c i didn't like the specter of censorship there, but here (overall) i think it's been mostly even-handed.
i don't think it's fair for HhH to only get 3 posts & have PMed Matt about it. also IMO, i think a loyal long gets a lighter standard of conduct than a dissenter & more than a few try to goad the dissenters into violating TOS (which i am guilty of once).
anyway, i think this bored isn't the perfect land of free speech, but it's also a private endeavor & Matt has a right to run his business & an RB free-for-all isn't good for his business.
& it is true that if one follows iHub's rules there isn't typically a problem. though i do think HhH is singled out b/c he is very, very good @ being the Wave gadfly.
anyway,
SPIN
PS great to hear Nelzoni is healing... i wish him well.
edit: 24 - interesting to see the winnowing of your points. i'll look back in the RB archives when i get around to it, but i once went to look for something from last year & RB had erased the slate (which is a shame b/c there were about 500k posts that were a chronicle of this company from 98-02.
i definitely recall dialog w/HhH where you were making a case in a series of posts last year about how you concluded millions & millions in revs last year.
PPS GO TROJANS!!!
