Marshall and I had quite a long chat today on the phone. He is exactly as I had thought he would be....marches to his own tune and is not going to go with the flow. Not gonna happen. He (hey Marshall) absolutely said some things that ruffled some feathers and offended a few folks. I don't like that part of the old thread. Sorry guys, I don't think Marshall is a bad guy though...if you ever speak with him in person you will see. Mostly he was lashing back at getting some ribbing (some of it he deserved)....Also, just as I had said earlier....had I asked him to stop he would have. Bruce D and Jim C are the same way, if they ever get into arguments they would back off if asked. And all are still good contributors (though I don't always agree with them ) The ones that wouldn't stop aren't here anymore. Again, I absolutely know some folks will not like what I say on this matter but I am just being honest...He's not a bad guy but said things he shouldn't have...mostly in retalliation, I believe.



But Marshall- I am not sure your board presence is going to fare well for you if you keep up too much rhetoric. I understand everything you said was just off the cuff, and what you thought at the time, and I truly don't believe you were feeling malicious, as you stated on the phone. But we are a community and I know you understand I need to look out for the collective board...so be cool, please. A little diplomacy wouldn't hurt much. And we can have many beers if you make it to the National..take care
