I need to weigh in here. You knew I would didn't you? I will always help any person who feels they need it. That does not mean I expect them to agree with me, or to even stop jumping on me when they feel I am doing something wrong. Those who might be less than gentle on me now, are still my friends and it does not mean I am not there if they need help in the future. I think we too often allow a disagreement become personal. It shouldn't. I have argued with many people who I still respect, and even when I can't convince them of something, that does not mean I change my opinion of them, it just means they are wrong. I guess it is a lawyer thing. We always fight like crazy in the court, but outside we work together to find a way to resolve stuff. In the trial one of us wins and one of us loses, and it has nothing to do with us as people. I think that is why a loss in the ring does not devastate me, but just makes me want to work harder the next time. The Hunte matter was a difficult situation, but our board found a solution, or at least I think they did. I have again been asked for some help on some new stuff, but nothing has broken out into a fight yet, and I hope it won't. But, I have never judged my friends on if they agree with me. Ask Paul or Twyla, who disagree with me all the time. They have a point of view, and I know the right thing.
