Perry,

You accepted, as the others did, membership of the IAHC. If flames etc
upset you, then you should not be a member of the IAHC. Recall that your
tone at times, being arrogant and sarcastic, invites what you get. Fanatasy
and sarcasm and flames. You are all obligated, I think, to give feedback.
If not to this forum, then somewhere where anyone, we included can see the
feedback.

Putting" >Speaking for myself, and not for the IAHC" is such nonsense. This
is the IAHC newsgroup, and you are on the IAHC. Are we to conclude that
your thoughts as expressed here are different o the thoughts that you
espouse during IAHC commitee meetings and communications?

If people misinterpret you, then perhaps it is because you are not clear?
Many people seem to misinterpret you, so you should look inward. Why do
they misinterpret you?

I have not seen anyone threaten to sue you, I have seen people imagining
that policies might cause lawsuits. There is a difference, no?

I feel for example that you tend to ignore the meaning of what people are
trying to express. I see you as a person with your mind made up. In my
opinion, it seems that you read the draft, and decided what you liked. Now
you are spending time trying to bend people to YOUR vision of the draft,
rather than listening and learning. My opinion is not word a bucket of warn
spit however.

Come on Perry, don't go soft on us and start whinging, that is my job.


Kevin
If it looks like one, sounds like one and talks like one, and argues like
one, then it IS one. ( Replace the word one with your own choice)
