Bidding against friends

Corey- that I agree with. Every one of us has an obligation to comport him or her self with dignity on the board. The fact that Bruce says something offensive doesn't give others the right to respond in such a nasty tone. We all need to clean up our acts.

Regarding the "we" and the "whilst" stuff: On the surface it is minor and nothing more than pretentious. But I have another issue with it. When Bruce first started posting, and consequently got attacked for his manner of addressing the board, I had a long talk with him and suggested he make a minor concession and use "I" and "while" instead. I felt it was such an easy and obvious change to make and it would go a long way in quieting things down. He adamantly refused and continues that silliness to this day. He has no interest in being one of the guys and prefers to look down at the Net54 riffraff. He is stubborn just to prove that he doesn't have to listen to anyone, even someone who at the time was his friend. That part of it bothers me tremendously.
