That's the biggest danger of negativity. <BR>> If ya can't be positive yourself - ya surely can't spread anything but bitter butter so I left for about 6 months. <br>> <br>> Also - there ARE totally awesome people here! It would be nice to see them again! - I think noone has shown up for ... err... <BR>> months? And before that... months?<br>> <br>> " Sorry if I'm way off base in those remarks."<br>> - I've done all of my childish complaining now in the last post so please let me be the one to apologize.<br>> <br>> "...and I look forward to hearing other (positive attitude!) suggestions."<br>> - I think this is the biggest reason I finally came out and yodeled this little ear bleeding on you all... my attitude has grown sour <BR>> after alot of disappointment and needed some of you poor souls to absorb it with your positivities. A little electron flow if you will <BR>> - I knew there was potential. Sorry I was the source :P Ya more sorry for the overly stretched out bad analogy there.<br>> <br>> <br> > - "I don't know you, and I don't want to offend you, but is it possible that what you call "open source honesty" is pushing people <BR>> away? There *are* ways of being open and honest (and assertive) without hurting people's feeling. Perhaps explore some other <BR>> ways of interacting with people? "<br>> <br>> No worries - no offense taken at all! There *are* ways of being honest that you even demonstrate in your own comments- we <BR>> can all learn from your skills, brother!<br>> <br>> <br>> ANYHOW! I'm already feeling less bitter and negative - venting can help when someone listens.<BR> <BR>Great! So, hack on! And attract others to make the coolest hackerspace ever! :)<BR> <BR>Mitch.<BR><br> <BR> </div></body>
