You meant "morally-uptight" right? :P -----Original Message----- From: Eric Fretz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 11:05 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Migrating from GroupWise 6.5
No, You are wrong. Explain to me how you can tell someone that they are unethical AND not expect it to be taken as an insult. You feel justified in your position and that is fine. When you come into a public forum and say that anyone who is an MVP is unethical, you cannot expect MVPs to take it any other way than an insult. By making your opinions as a statement, you have committed catagorical slander on a group of people YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. If you had said that you disagree with vendor recognition, but that MVPs do a lot of good for the Microsoft community (this discussion list being a prime example), then you would be airing your opinion with out discrediting the good work that some MVPs do. Can you really blame anyone for accepting recognition? It is human nature to want and deserve laud and attention. It is obvious that you measure yourself a much longer moral yardstick than the rest of us. Perhaps you should start your own Exchange list for-the-morally-upright to keep these reactions from happening in the future.

I believe that your actions are wrong and hurt IT professionalism as a whole. My beliefs may be on the fringe, but that does not make them any less correct. I have never tried to offend, only to educate. I cannot help if people get offended, but it does seem immature to hold a grudge against someone only because you happen to disagree with them on a single topic. I'm sure that comment will offend some people as well. > Here's some philosophy for you. Those you hold in contempt will very > likely hold you in contempt.
