I am even more confused? Steve said "pisano" in a private e-mail that Matteo made public...
Then Steve admits his mistake to you privately, and you then teach him a lesson by putting him on
"probation"? Does he still receive posts from the IMCA group site? Or did you stop those?
If he admitted he was mad and wrong, why punish him?
He's not racist - He was just being mad and wrong.
Rhett, I may not know the whole story but I know this was between two
people.
Why are you bringing the IMCA into this?
To establish "peace" is NOT a good reason.
The IMCA is for the authenticity of meteorites "period".
Are things more peaceful now?
You know as well as anyone that people get mad and say things
they should not.
First, it is up to the two individuals to try to straighten things
out on their own.
It saddens me that you say you would do it again.
Rhett, this appears not be a matter of racism but more an excuse
to push someone around you admittedly don't like.
No? Just substitute any other big dealer in Steve's place.
If Mike Farmer (not picking on you Mike :>) had said this to Matteo,
would you have reacted the same way?
If you answer "yes," then why haven't you in the past?
You can not force people to be nice but they can learn from your good
example.
You have kindly and privately reproved me when I broke IMCA rules.
So, I know you can create a harmonious environment when you try without
changing the path of IMCA.
I could not understand from your comment if the board had any say so
in the new change to IMCA or not?
It sounded as if you did it on your own.
Does the board no longer make these type of policy changing decisions?
Please don't start talking about quitting like you did before.
We all appreciate your past achievements.
But, If you are serious (which I doubt), I will be
glad accept the position. (thank you)
Best case scenario, I would share it with Jake Delgato or another
member)
Thanks,
Ken Newton
