> > Why not just embrace what you have and start your own little band?
Because my own little band would do nothing to advance the ColdFusion language. It would not help to keep the language focused on it's core of getting the job done quickly and simply. > I REALLY fail to see why what OTHER people think is so important to you. > You > OBVIOUSLY have the backing of quite a large portion of the community or the > HOF and the mag wouldn't be as big as they are. What others, or at least some others think of me is important to me. I'm an introvert forcing myself to be an extrovert. I can take a few knocks but when I get trounced by people I respect, it forces me back to my core introverted self. Introverts stick to their small comfort group and don't get out into the wide open. Writing is the wide open. Speaking publicly is the wide open. I love doing both, but... > I feel you are always trying to go against the grain, trying to be > different, and you keep wanting to draw attention to that.... we all know > I was once the bad boy of ColdFusion (really) but I've been trying to be good. This is the first time I've complained about something in the community that directly affects me since the first community suite thing 9 years ago. If you see me going against the grain in general and I don't then I have to readjust my view of myself. > Have your opinions, do your code, but learn to talk "normal" with > everything > else.

I'm definitely not doing my job right. I don't want to be over anyone's head. I don't want to be 'up there'. I want to bring everyone 'up there'. Or explain 'up there' so that it doesn't seem so far up. > And if I'm off my mark, by all means, blast me and let me know.

I'm just venting about something that's been there for almost a year. I should just say fuck it (yes, those words) and just do my thing no matter what. So I piss off Adobe. They don't pay me for anything. So I piss off pundits for certain paths of thought. What can it do, stop them from writing for Fusion Authority or Flex Authority? Screw it all. Give me a few minutes and I'll blog some code and concept on standardized urls and SEO. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:295004 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
