THANKS
Rhett,
I am even more confused? Steve said "pisano" in
a private e-mail that Matteo made public...
Then Steve admits his
mistake to you privately, and you then teach him a lesson by
putting him on
"probation"? Does he still receive posts from the
IMCA group site? Or did you stop those?
If he admitted he was mad and
wrong, why punish him?
He's not racist - He was just being mad and
wrong.
Rhett, I may not know the whole story but I know this was between two
people.
Why are you bringing the IMCA into this?
To establish
"peace" is NOT a good reason.
The IMCA is for the authenticity of
meteorites "period".
Are things more peaceful now?
You know as
well as anyone that people get mad and say things they should not.
First, it is up to the two individuals to try to straighten things out
on their own.
It saddens me that you say you would do it again.
Rhett, this appears not be a matter of racism but more an excuse
to push someone around you admittedly don't like.
No? Just
substitute any other big dealer in Steve's place.
If Mike Farmer (not
picking on you Mike :>) had said this to Matteo,
would you
have reacted the same way?
If you answer "yes," then why haven't you
in the past?
You can not force people to be nice but they can learn from your good
example.
You have kindly and privately reproved me when I broke IMCA
rules.
So, I know you can create a harmonious environment when you try
without changing the path of IMCA.
I could not understand from your comment if the board had any say so in
the new change to IMCA or not?
It sounded as if you did it on your
own.
Does the board no longer make these type of policy changing
decisions?
Please don't start talking about quitting like you did before.
We
all appreciate your past achievements.
But, If you are serious
(which I doubt), I will be glad accept the position. (thank
you)
Best case scenario, I would share it with Jake Delgato or
another member)
Thanks,
Ken Newton
