I was just contemplating the BOD sentiments as they have been conveyed to us by our attendees at the convention. I think it was Donnypee who said that they (PR folks) just shut down when he tried to express the advantages of the Agoracom boards. I tried to think of what the BOD might think of us after having read many of our posts, some of them mine, that were leveled against them for whatever reason. Some of us have been insulting, hostile, threatening, profane (hidden within other keystrokes), abusive....I guess that's redundant, and generally counter to all interested in the forward movement of this company. We've also been kind, sharing, brilliant in analysis at times and a strong community of very resourceful people. However, it's difficult to remove a bad taste no matter how many good deeds one does. Once someone has maligned you it is difficult to see them in a different light. Perhaps soon we will find reason to see the same vision.
