"Basically, any policy changes here (like starting to clamp down on diary content) mean more work for all of us. We'd rather that people would just get along. Brian R doesn't have any special mojo here, but he's a rare graduate of one of our wind turbine construction seminars so we know him personally, and as was pointed out, he's a 'doer' and not just a talker.--DAN F (ADMIN)"
This is why I stated earlier " If Admin does nothing I think its okay.-JW"

"What bothers me more than his diary around here... postings of unrealistic ideas, intolerance, name calling, rudeness etc.-DanB"

"I have proven myself many times over to be a 'pushover' and too tolerant/too patient with 'rogue' users. Bryan is not a troll - or anything like JCP etc, so folks who made those comparisons/accusations were just dead wrong. I hope he continues to post here but more specifically about his RE projects.-DanB"

Now, its very clear that we are not getting off that easy.

As I said way-earler, Im sorry, but when any dialog causes the systematic board wide reaction, theres only one debackel that one could come to remember. Yes thats right the 'jcp' debackel'.

But seriously, TomW, is a really good and fair guy.
 Perhaps, ' I ' meant to say, Bryan 'was acting like a jcp' but didnt mean to imply 'that he was one'....

Honestly it was my gut feeling, that posting's such as this could occur, if bryan, wasnt at least warned, "hay watch out you can start a fire with that thing!" Because I was there, I knew, that its wise to point out, that sometimes you have to be thick skinned around here.

The point im trying to make is that, we all disagree from time to time, as we take time to get to know one another, we do find out we all have much in common, that is worth something. When I entered this phorum, it was at the height of the so-called jcp-Debacle' And I saw DanB get seriously pissed off at JCP...

So I can totally understand how I could be dead wrong about Bryan.

 Just remember I did not start this thread.

 But when someone implies 'the goverment giveth and taketh awathh'

 this french-kissing of political beliefs, is not only mis-guided but also quite arrogant AND misleading, By Boss.

 As TomW eludes too, 'anyone with some common sense', could see that those remarks, were 'too politically charged' Ov, coarse that type of reaction is going to happen.

Personally I think Bryan is a good man.

I have interacted with him before and I think he's a good fellow...

It does take quite-abit to pipe-up and say 'I will cool it'.

 Something I find strange is that The only reason I made the jcp remark, is because Boss was considering taking a leave of absence or something like that. Like saying this is your last chance to interact with me. This was on one of his first postings, like saying, you guys could never get me.

 Anyhow, we all decided here that he should hang around.

 I think He will.

Just for the record, I consider myself more a 'cowboy' than a 'Rogue'  :)  

You guys really shouldnt have to get into all this, 'the dan's' ,

 I just wanted say, members/user's that I have disagreed with in the past, are now people that I consider friends Like TomW and others. Ya, I made an effort, but it was woth it.
