[quote="Nick Prochilo":xj0hqveu]I think we should send Bill to look for her. He got Ludichris to come back! #-o
I didn't get him to come back. I sent him an email and he replied with his thoughts about this board saying he wouldn't come back, but then did on his own before before everyone pounded on him. Not defending him ~ Don't even know him.
I wouldn't ask anyone to come back to this board. It's to harsh. I stay here because there is a little I think I can contribute to some and there is alot of good information here. Many here say you have to have a thick skin to play here or get out. That, in my opinion, is what's costing this board members like Rita, Bryan, Keith, Ed, Jane, and I think Susan as well, and there are more. TexLaw made a damn good post last week about where the future of this board lies...And I agree with everything he said except I believe a happy medium can be reached. There's alot of animosity on this board (And yeah, I've been part of it) ~ Too much IMO, but as has been mentioned many times, thick skin is required.....[/quote:xj0hqveu]
Well I gotta disagree about what is costing us members. Each board has it's own personality. Regardless of the behavior on any given board there will be things about a board/members that people don't like and will make the choice whether or not to participate in the discussions of that board. We have a very unique, BBQ savy core group of members here on this board and I would not be ashamed to invite others to join this board, as stated
"I wouldn't ask anyone to come back to this board". This is not directed as a slam towards you Bill and please do not take it that way. When I read your above post it seems to me you are embarrassed or reluctantly being a member of this board. This negativity isn't really helping the board. I'm not suggesting or requesting you to leave, but I do have a question. If it's so bad why do you stay? If the people you've named do not want to be a part of this board because of the atmosphere, that is fine. Seems the board will make it fine without them. Not to say we wouldn't want them to be a part of the board, I for one would welcome them if they chose to participate in the conversations of the board. But if they don't, it's their choice and so be it.
