[NSRCA-discussion] Rules Proposal Survey

[Peter Vogel]

Thank you Dan!  I've made the same error many times (in fact, many years ago the VP I reported to at work had one area for improvement in my annual review: "you tend to be overly harsh and critical in your email communications" and I still fall victim to that.  It's much harder to write the kind of message you just did and you have climbed in my personal estimation ( not that my opinion, as a perfect stranger, likely matters to you) as a result. 

Thanks!

It is so easy to let your typing fingers get way ahead of your rational thought and it is also so very hard to convey thoughts and arguements with in this media, with out things sounding mean and vitriolic at times, even when its not meant to.  I have fallen victim to that scenario.  Rules proposals can create major disagreements and heated exchanges at times.  We have been through them a lot it seems.  This time it is no different.  No matter what side of the proposals our changes a person is on, we all have the feeling that our side is correct and we are willing to stand by it.  This is a good thing.  The past and present board members of the NSRCA have worked with one goal in mind and that is to make NSRCA and pattern flying fun, enjoyable and if at all possible a growing sport.  I fully expect all future board members will have the same goals.  We are a bunch of guys with a common interest and I am proud to be included in the group.  I am also proud of defending the sport against any perceived threats that might come along.  This is what I have been trying to do.

Fingers flying while mind in idle, and temper in the red.  I am sure it offended several people and was hurtful for members to read on this list.  For this I truely apologize and hope that all will accept this apology as offered.
