I'm not offended in the least actually.
It is clear that Grex does not want to address the real issues. I have
tried, unselfishly, to highlight them. I was not sticking around for
personal reasons - I have zilch to gain from being a Grex staffer (a fact
seemingly lost on many).
Good luck 'working' with STeve, Marcus, and the dynamic-duo arse-patting
crew.
You had a choice to move forward - unfortunately you chose to stay with
the past. And, that's your choice. It is sad, but it is one I thought
you were - as a group - non-visionary enough to make.
I lose nothing, and you stick with your cuddly status-quo --- the
wonderful Grex community of non-striving folk.

FWIW, I also think that cross's willingness to be on the board is
something that should be considered.

Regarding #196; Fair enough.
Regarding #203; I plan on it; the only question is whether I get deployed or
reactivated. If that happens, then all bets are off. But honestly, that's
not up to me. :-)

Good, if true. Hold onto that thought, as I've got more to say..

One of the reasons I really wish you'd shut up about this is that I happen
to agree with you to a limited extent -- I think Grex has a problem with
its staff culture and now is the time to start doing something about it.
I'd like to actually have a serious conversation about this, but you're a
one-man wrecking crew for your own position -- the way you're going about
arguing in favor of reform is probably the most effective way to ensure
that nobody takes the reform position seriously.

I take it seriously regardless of spooked's venting. I'm sure most others
don't based on their responses, though. People are fixated on personalities
and individuals rather than coming up with a fair process for future would-be
staff volunteers. I'm trying to ignore all the psychoanalyzing everyone is
enjoying only because I think everyone is repeating themselves mostly. Well,
I don't think Mike is repeating himself. He's like E.F.Hutton.

Sorry, I like to make myself heard - especially because I know I speak the
truth. I will shut up, because as I said I have nothing to gain from
being on staff. I was sacrificing myself for the good of Grex, and I hope
for its sake it wakes up to itself.

Todd, "most others" who do take it seriously may be behaving like me: trying
to stay out the fray until mic finishes venting.

Now that I have finished venting, does Grex realise that clearly things
are broken - and, thus, change (for improvement) is necessary?
