Well, I am sorry this irrational little bit is occuring as well. Allow me to use my patented bullet style post again to clarify some things:
1. My intent was not to give ajy a hard time; it was merely to illustrate that only ajy gives ajy a hard time.
2. It was not a solicitation for ajy to present his "world-wide corporate-sponsored forum" credentials, nor give him any more opportunity to wallow and writhe in the deep end of his persecution complex.
3. It was not written to inspire debate on the specific ideas he presented. You'll notice I never offered my opinion on any one of them.
4. It was an expression of my gut response to the melodrama that oozes out of just about every one of his posts.
5. It was most definately not a raised fist chant to have the forum's policy on managing creative feedback re-examined.
6. The "Politician's Handbook" crack was not to suggest ajy was affiliated with politics nor was it suggestive that politicians are underhanded and devious. I find most of them too weak to be either.
This entire string is a perfect example of "political correctness" and how it destroys a good conversation and debate. PC ethics protect the weak and fragile character at the expense of the strong-minded and opinionated. Sure, it helps everybody feel like they are worthy contributors and inspires ideas, but at the same time it dilutes the resource pool with those same mediocre ideas. And most of the time, those ideas, unchecked by any "quality control" just make it harder to sort through the good ones.
p.s. The above paragraph, ajy, is not directed AT YOUR SPECIFIC IDEAS presented earlier for the mod. It is instead directed at the current social rules that allow you to conduct yourself in such a style. Please don't get confused again. Be strong and just tell me to "shut up" and get back to your posting undaunted by the critisism you (so far)infalliably perceive. That's all I'm looking for...
