I don't think anyone gets it.

My post was not about me, everyone else is making it about me. He wrote a note to a board of "tweakers" and in it he dismissed tweaking. His point was....? I thought it was odd and a little rude, but to this board, not me.

I admit it's probably not what he wanted to say or how he wanted to say it, but it still came across to me like that. Frankly, it didn't need to be said and he doesn't owe any of us an explanation.

For the 30th time my post had nothing to do with what they do or don't do. I don't care. It also had nothing to do with me. I can't speak anymore without people automatically assuming I'm talking about me. I was not talking about me.

Anyway, I'm the local whipping boy. I've had so many detractors like Davey make rude and unfounded attacks against me so long I couldn't care less. I don't even read them and they don't bother me, and I didn't take Wendells post personally either. I just think it would be nice if we and the parent company could find some common ground and his note seems to be saying there simply is none. I don't think either side really understands the other.

It's all about the music...

I am at least 1 person that agrees 100% with You PG.
I guess some people don't seem to actually read what You write or just don't have the insight.
I construct and repair myself and I also found the message a bit... rude and condescending.
Knowing quite a bit from my own and other planar designs I find the comment somewhat ignorant.
But anyway... there are always "hard core" owners that probably shivered in aw by just reading the message.
Cheers from Sweden!

The one who succeeded was the one who didn't know it was impossible.

  Thank God, a voice of sanity in the wilderness... :^ )
  
  However I have always felt Swedes were the most level headed people on the planet, so I'm not surprised.
  
  For the record, I think they read it but don't care. It's an excuse to get the poison pen out and attack me, and who among them can pass that opportunity up? They say it's about me... it's actually about them.
  
  You hang on too, we're past the half way point of winter. I know how much you guys love the summer. If it was 70 degrees here everyday and light till 11 PM I'd love it too. :^ )

    As the several posts in this thread indicate, you are obviously not alone when it comes to the perceived slight to the modder/tweaker community in the OP. My first post on the subject was a diluted and perhaps a politically more correct assertion of same (PG, don't go into politics) :> ) However, sometimes you can be something of an ass when it comes to delivering your opinions/posts, which are usually valid, thoughtful, and helpful opinions/posts but that sometimes seem rather caustic (kind of like the opinions of Antonin Scalia - obviously, a very intelligent leader of the conservative Supremes - he can't seem to make a conservative point without personally trashing the liberals holding opposing viewpoints). And, of course, there is no doubting your contributions to the MUG and your talent in framing, etc. I think you have to accept that the ad hominem attacks against you come with 'the territory.' So you know what they say: no one likes a smart ass, but everyone wants a piece of it! You go, boy!

      So now I'm the Antonin Scalia of the planar asylum? Well, there could be worse fates....
      
      I can be something of an ass huh? I'll have to try harder then and use my whole ass.
      
      What bothers me are the other asses who prompt my assininity (?) by attacking me with lies, warping my posts, saying things I didn't say or entirely mis-catagorizing it, and NOBODY ever takes them to task. They always get a free ride. (and it's remarkably the same people)
      
      Sorry, not on my watch. If being as ass is what's required to hold them accountable, then an ass it will be. I only now and ever have everyones best interests at heart, and all I said was I found his post a bit insulting. A few others agreed, yet ironically nobody is attacking them or calling them asses. And people rarely defend me because they know they'll be in the crosshairs next, and who would willingly want that?
      
      But I get LOTS of email support when this sort of thing happens, so I have a very good idea what the unshaven and unposting masses think.
      
      Anyway, this sort of thing needs to happen every so often to shake the dust up and keep the place interesting. If anyone thinks this affair is that dire they really need a new perspective. I very much doubt Wendell is going to cry himself to sleep tonight.
