The following is a reply to our President I posted on the club board:

Good Morning Mr. President,
Thank you for taking my note in the spirit it was intended. It never was my intention to criticize you an an individual. You have a GREAT deal of class and it shows in your response. It is unfortunate a few other club members have a difficult time with constructive criticism since they ONLY know how to attack the individual and not the concept that is being presented. Unfortunately, "they" always believe what they say is gospel and no one else can ever speak something different. I have learned over these many years to take from their response what is valuable and discard the rest. It is unfortunate we have many club members who email support for my posts and suggestions; yet fear to post any messages themselves. They request not to use their names but thank me for my suggestions, critiques and sharing of information. The pure truth is they are fearful of the handful of members who attack the individual and not the concept of what is being said.It is truly sad that many members will not publicly share what they feel and believe because of these individuals.

It has never bothered me. I have always held my own with anyone and never worried about their personal attacks. I'm a big boy and have never backed down from any confrontation. I will continue to always post what I wish whether it be articles, notes or critiques of our club and/or it's officers decisions. After all it is how we make progress. Thanks again Jim and if you need anything from me.....please let me know.
