Macromedia employee participation (was RE: not another mx boo boo)
IMHO, how people interact on public mailing lists is a reflection on themselves and not their employers. I welcome and encourage Macromedia employee participation with CF mailing lists and think they should be individually responsible for their participation. Macromedia should only be responsible for their employees in relation to their official duties. It seems rather easy to separate official emails from Macromedia sent via employees on these lists from their personal opinion. Sean has done nothing but contribute to the CF community by participating on this list and others. While I may disagree with him and his employer on occasion that doesn't mean I don't appreciate his participation. It is my wish that people on this list would spend less time getting offended by emails sent with the best intentions and more time engaging in technical debates.

RE: not another mx boo boo
Just a point about contacting someone's employer, someone on CF-Community and I got into it a few months ago. I told him I would post his boss' email address to the list if he didn't lighten up. Lost a few friends over that one, and regret even suggesting someone contact the person's boss. While these lists are a public forum no one wants to have to watch over their back when they are speaking their mind. We are all professional adults and should be above having to squeal on each other because someone's not playing nice.

RE: Macromedia employee participation (was RE: not another mx boo boo)
IM(never to be)HO.. soapbox value=on I couldn't agree more. Stop the PC crud, and simply look at what's real and informative about the email. Sure, if you want to play the Customer is always right routine, you could slap the hands of several of MM's employees on this list. But you know what, we're NOT always right. And since we've all (well, most likely all) been on the cash register side of the counter and experienced the crap that customers can spew -- only to have to nod and say yes sir -- let's just remember, we all have our opinions. It's part of what makes this country great! I can stand toe-to-toe with you and call you an a#*hole, and know that it's my right to do so. If we're not smart enough to realize the difference between an official comment and an unofficial one, then I believe we should sell our 'puters and quit our current job(s). I'm certain we would have no problem finding a top-flight position in either the food service or janitorial industries. soapbox value=off | -Original Message- | From: Matt Liotta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 12:23 PM | To: CF-Talk | Subject: Macromedia employee participation (was RE: not | another mx boo boo) | | | IMHO, how people interact on public mailing lists is a | reflection on themselves and not their employers.
