RE: Scratch vs Plan built?
Mode One:
Please, accept my appologies. You simply got caught in the middle. An enormous amount of people that post are not there for the everyday banter.
When I said "Get Over It" , I don't think that it was directed to just you!
A lot of individuals get their opinion posted and no one knows who the heck they even are. They are certainly entitled to post thier views. But it would surely be nice if everyone would read through the thread. ... and this one isn't that long.
I know I was out of line when I uttered those infamous words.
I'll tell you exactly where that came from -- at least with me.
When people say things, regardless where it comes from, we all draw our conversation from past circumstances. and when something is spoken, it might trigger even another thought from way out in left field.
A few years ago, I had a customer come into my store wanting me to make her a poster reading just those very words but in a different font each time. If you read the very same text but with different FONTS, you can say the same thing but achieve different perceptions as to what was meant by it.
Apparently, this customer had a disagreement with her boyfriend. No matter what was said, he kept bringing up the SAME old dead horse.
So think about that phrase - "GET OVER IT" if it is typed in the font IMPACT, it's message is just like the font - heavy & bold, in essence, a very FIRM statement!
Say it again, in a really flowery script font like EDWARDIAN, a much softer message. ... and again, try HELVETICA or GARAMOND. the message might come across as being buisiness like.
Anyway, I think you get the point. So many thoughts scream through your mind in a split second, its almost pathetic.
You hit the nail on the head, this topic has been hashed over & over & over - almost daily and a good amount of posters are so darn adament about THEIR opinon being the only one that counts.
As I said guys "get over it" --- and that is not in any way directed to JUST you my friend.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention.. I definately dids not mean to offend you! This RC community is without a doubt some of the friendliest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
