I believe you have made the assumption that since I didn't post in either C:A or the TFP thread that introduced that board, that I must be "sniping from the sidelines." Like many others, I read the posts in C:A and chose not to participate. Unlike some, I didn't feel the need to comment on what I saw at C:A in your TFP thread. I have read them both in their entirety. I don't read the journals and I was not privy to your private conversation with others, but it appears that I should have been aware of that knowledge before questionning your recent proclamation. Am I correct in my assumptions, so far?

Is it that you object to my term "debacle" or would you prefer "fiasco?" When I read mods' posts that they question the wisdom of your experiment, and members express the same feelings, is that what you mean by "success?" You tell roachboy that he is "over thinking" the experiment and that you didn't have an objective in mind, but now all is explained in your journal; is that where I will learn about your success in this experiment?

Do you believe that no "harm" was done when long surpressed ill will finally gave vent and spilled over to TFP? Do you believe that no "harm" was done when you dismissed the loss of respect that several people expressed? Do you believe that no "harm" was done when members felt it necessary to defend and choose sides; members against members?

I could continue, but you know very well what has been posted by your members and to say otherwise is simply dishonest. I am done "coughing it up" for you, because like you said, it is right before your eyes.
