A Kodak moment!

I stated online somewhere that I felt that, in a way, they [the other bbs'] are the perfect expression of what we are trying to do - foster the communication and connection of strangers to the point where they self-identify as a community. Once there, they branch out and work on their own stuff, together, to expand support for that community. Admittedly, I didn't intend for this to happen with other bbs', but they do seem to fill a need, so great!
the shots at the tool seem to have been, in retrospect, for the most part warranted.
the personal attacks came about because we felt we were explicitely kept out of the loop, or intentionally ignored when we did find ways to offer opinions. i'm aware now that this is not how it was intended, for the most part, but that is how it was percieved.
Just hang for a few. i'm sure they will get to you. I'm supprised they got to me.
I am not an admin here but I know what's involved. Sometimes it can be a bitch. and if your volunteering it can be wicked.
Just hang for a few. i'm sure they will get to you.
i hope that, in the time since you've started providing feedback to the users of the bbs, that the tone of the conversation on our side has improved to acceptable levels.

Someone who *really* thinks personal attacks are never warranted would probably have re-thought this statement.

If it's you and you really feel like it?
I'm just trying to get clarity here. You're the one who said it wasn't warrented under any circumstances - in the same post as the stone age thing - which sounds pretty insulting to me.
Just food for thought DF.

DeFacto, I know where your coming from but damn, clean up the posts. Don't give them spelling errors to fling back at you.
Also the last post clearly shows your mad.
This is a very savvy group and those kinds of attacks make more headway.
I missed the turnoff where this became personal towards you.
Back to the "stone age" business -- do you read any Usenet newsgroups?
Do you require a high-graphics interface to do so?
Isn't it just text on a screen, mostly?
Isn't the text the important part?
WRT the alleged art festival we call Burning Man, the creations displayed on the eplaya consist of our textual contributions, mostly. We shouldn't even notice the interface, as long as it works for accessing the text.
