Hmm. If you're objecting to the use of Pelosi as bs, I apologize but feel her actions and very public stature almost beg for it, and I'll likely continue. Sorry if it bothers you. I apologize if anyone was offended by Pelosi, but she offends me often.
As for Leyton and McMahon, we often debate and disagree but remain friends- in Leyton's case, by avoiding political discussion, in Thom's, cooking. But hopefully Forumites know we're friends and much of this is planned backhanded compliments. If I really wanted to upset one of them, I'd post pics of the go kart racing- another reason to go to AFSA's national convention. I don't think there's much in the way of personal attacks on the forum, and as Ron recently exemplified, an apology is all that's needed to reverse what seemed like a good (or tolerable) idea at the time, but wasn't. He's certainly contributed enough good stuff to forgive him, and I know he has a ton of pressure on him with the volume slamming thru Aero (or at least DID). He's a good guy, have met him at Convention:) And ALL of us here are more equal than others who aren't. glc -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of å... ....

I know what it feels like to be cast as a jack-ass. Conform to the norm, or they assume you can't perform. If we got a God-Deal problem with something, then McMahon-almighty call out the problem, because the person is not the problem. and you probably are just creating another bigger problem in name blaming. The problem is: not-focussing-on-the-problem, and substituting a scapegoat for the situation. Focus on the issues, not the person. That way the chicken-Brumblebee readers will have to evaluate the article based on what actually is presented, rather than evaluating the article based on whose name gave the swag its game. It is low-brow, bad quality work, to call someone a Leyton-jerk. Separate the job from the person, and for certain it makes workin a lot easier. Will this happen in my lifetime? It hasn't since recorded history. Then why change? Because it is a better way, and you better assure that person the chance that person will be there and join forces with you in a future instance. This isn't group-hug... this is just good business duh. We all don't have to be sleep-over partners or hangover brothers to trust one another, if we argue over the most logical, and hopefully the most reasonable answers. Win some problems, lose others, but if we keep the personal MORE distant, then we all can go back at it, together, later, in a more objective and a less ego-bruised way. yes, I am God-Deal Leyton-ing Brumblebee-dick, but i refuse to let that label stick. evaluate the situation, not the author, company or authentication. It will help quell the herd mentality and propensity toward Animal Farm senility. scot deal excelsior fire engineering _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
