[clue] My prior remarks: generalizing and personalizing

[Crawford Rainwater]

Folks:

What seems to have happened is that Gus Calabrese personalized my remarks that he made on the "[clue] [ADMIN] More Odds and end's 2012m01d24" thread.  Others like Dan Kulinski read them as general and another view to the posting.  Both are perspectives are valid.  However, being the author of those remarks, they were meant in general as an observation as Dan did interpret such and remarked.  Plain, simple, and the facts.

As for a "pissing match" I am not going to go into such.  I personally took a sabbatical from CLUE as a long termed admin after dealing with too many "pissing matches" and devoting 8-9 years of services to CLUE in the foregrounds and background with in the end and my personal perspective, too "little gain or return".  A few folks have asked me to come and contribute back into the CLUE "admin" and "presentation" circles again, but my boundaries are clear.  I would appreciate them to be respected.  

As for my postings which are opinions and perspectives, they are just such.  If folks have issues with such, they are welcomed to their opinion in a positive constructive manner.  As David Willson noted and spoke up about (though directed privately to Gus who then reposted such to the CLUE list), negativity is frowned upon most in general and is extremely destructive in the end.  However, it is a free country being in the USA, thus free speech is permitted.  However, tolerance in return for someone else having a different view and opinion in the end should and must be respected.  

FWIW and again, my personal take above.  Feel free to take them as each individual reading this may, though for clarification...ask the source (i.e., ME in this case).
