I'm not going anywhere. As for politics, I did moderate that forum on another site for a little over a year. Got to be to much e-mail of every post, about 60 a day. Now I just do the Off Topic forum. Thought that was enough. This site is fun for that. If I were a real bad@ss, I would delete anyone that I see as a problem. I don't do that, never will.
My issue is concerning SML, their practices, and the disclosure of those practices to the public. As well as those associated with SML. The CDT thing is important as well. I just have more exposure to the SML thing.
Yes I would prefer to get back to the posting of goodies....I've said that.
I thought a while back that this has gone to long. Still, if in a post, a person attacks you, then says they have no more of value to say, are you suppose to ignore the attack?? Depends on what they have said. This case, was a clear violation to me.
I have deleted posts on the other site that were unreasonable and foundationless attacks on others. As well as had some given a "vacation" from that site for that behavior.
If I start, or make a comment about someone or something, and anyone thinks I wrong, place a disagreement. Don't lie. For that type of infraction I have asked for and recieved vacation time for people at the other site. I don't feel the would serve any purpose here.
I have nothing to be self important about, this particular issue is just one I am familiar with. My speaking up about it is to share what I know of it.
The talk about NBC,NADL, and the CDT program that others have posted is just the same. Their knowledge and experience of what is going on.
While this area of talk has nothing to do with our techniques, it is an important opinion.
I would greatly prefer to just post on techniques that hopefully others can use, or not.
Just...this kind of thing needs to be dealt with as well, the "political" part of our field. Yes it distracts from advancing our knowledge fo "how to", but, if we ignore it, we won't have to worry about "how to".
Placing a post that contains an opinion, or an attack, then in the same post saying that you will no longer respond, or, starting another post and leaving another unfinished, is a political move. Wether the individual realizes it or not, that is manipulative, asking for no response to it.
You won't lose my pea brain here. I have plenty of silly technique to share.
Let's see...positive to Don....I like his avatar, but, mines better.
Also, if the shoe was on the other foot, he may well be the one exposing me and SML. That could have happened easier than most anything. I worked only a few miles from them for years. And exposing isn't a particularly bad thing in this issue.
Who knew of the practice of doing full treatment programs done by SML, before they read it here??? To me, it applies to things happening in the CDT, NBC, and NADL programs. It's all about the money. Follow the money.
A huge positive for Don...I've posted it before....that IPC is awesome.
Mike.
