Okay, let me try again. For those of you who don't know, I'm not against Rocketboom or the idea of creating a videoblogging "show." Earlier this year I spent a month working on Rocketboom as the editor. Also, sometime early 2006 you may just see a "show" from me. That being said, what I take exception to is what David has pointed out - Andrew's statements. Now Andrew, you may feel that I've got it all out of context and that you didn't mean those things that way. Let me just tell you that I and others read them, the way they are worded, as dismissive and patronizing. Again you may "think" we have it wrong but that doesn't change the words. You can think of it like this: Let's say you accidentally hit me and say, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you." I'd respond, "no problem, it's okay." Then let's say it happens again. This time I might ask you to be more careful. Then let's say it happens a third time. Now I might start to think something is up. I might start to think that you really mean to hit me even though you claim that you "didn't mean it." At some point, after this has gone on a half dozen or so times, I'd get pretty pissed off. I'd start to defend myself. I might even hit back. See, just blaming me for not understanding that your intent is different than your words just doesn't cut it. -Verdi ------------------------ Yahoo!
