Can anyone who has actually read my contributions to the current magazine, (Gas Flow, WJM report and Vigilante review) or indeed ANY other of my contributions over the last ten years, suggest why I have been accused by BV of taking cheap shots at his comany intended to damage his business or being , in any way, anti BVM ?
David,
I have not read the articles yet (I have a pile of mags waiting to be read), so can not comment on the content yet.
However, I would have to say that regardless of the actual content - making a
public spectacle out of the private disagreement that you seem to be having with BV (instead of resolving it in private and/or asking a select few people for private assesment & feedback on your article) could certainly be read as being an attempt to hurt BV in & of itself
If the email you received truly was offensive, then I can definitely understand the very human desire to lash back (BTDT) - but doing so in a
public forum IMO comes across as an "escallation" of of the issue rather than being a good way to understand & resolve it.
Given the strong pro- and anti- BVM emotions that we see so often here on RCU, this thread also seems to me to be kind of like a match being waved around a powder keg.
I seem to recall you disagreed vehemently with Marc (RCAdmin) about him being quick to make his issues with PST public (and FWIW I agree with you on that one), and so I am somewhat surprised at the seemingly contradictory action taken here.
Best regards,
Gordon
