Although I can understand and respect the politically correct nature of this response, I find it totally pelosi. I think that the term is appropriate and here to stay.

This is the strength of the orum. What we do not share, necessarily, is agreement on matters political and perhaps religious, but I have not scene the words "Pope" or "Buddha" used n vain). s a courtesy to others, I would suggest that all Forum participants refrain rom using the names of political leaders, particularly in a derogatory context, nless commenting on their positions on fire protection.

I20apologize if anyone was offended by Pelosi, but he offends me often. As for Leyton and McMahon, we often debate and disagree but remain friends- n Leyton's case, by avoiding political discussion, in Thom's, cooking. ut opefully Forumites know we're friends and much of this is planned ackhanded compliments. If I really wanted to upset one of them, I'd post ics of the go kart racing- another reason to go to AFSA's national onvention. I don't think there's much in the way of personal attacks on the forum, nd s Ron recently exemplified, an apology is all that's needed to reverse hat eemed like a good (or tolerable) idea at the time, but wasn't. He's ertainly contributed enough good stuff to forgive him, and I know he has a on of pressure on him with the volume slamming thru Aero (or at least DID). e'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----- rom: [email protected] mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of å... .... ent: Friday, February 27, 2009 12:49 PM o: [email protected] ubject: system review I think it is Leyton-degrading to use someone's name in vain.although i am s guilty as the next. know what it feels like to be cast as a jack-ass. onform 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 anot her 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 asier. ill this happen in my lifetime? It hasn't since recorded history. hen why change? Because it is a better way, and you better ssure that person the chance that person will be there and oin forces with you in a future instance. his isn't group-hug... this is just good business duh. We all don't have to be sleep-over partners or hangover brothers o trust one another, if we argue over the most logical, and opefully the most reasonable answers. Win some problems, ose others, but if we keep the personal MORE distant, then we ll can go back at it, together, later, in a more objective and a less go-bruised way. yes, I am God-Deal Leyton-ing Brumblebee-dick, but i refuse o let that label stick. evaluate the situation, ot the author, company or authentication. It will elp quell the herd mentality and propensity toward nimal Farm senility. cot deal xcelsior fire engineering ______________________________________________ prinklerforum mailing list ttp://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum or=2 0Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ prinklerforum mailing list ttp://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum or Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) ______________________________________________ prinklerforum mailing list ttp://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum or 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)
