Quote from jack hershey:
It was done to forward the operation of ET. I didn't plan ahead well enough and I was counting a little on the archival value of ET being recognized. Another misjudgement that has me very worried at this point.
I recognize that many people choose to have me as their adversary; it solves a lot of problems for them. I was reluctant to post in a thread by an OP who was baiting me and the substance of the intellectual efforts of a lot of learners and traders. I do, continually, present a viewpoint based on expereince with practitioners who do not shae my precepts and approach. Usually I am a respondent and as a consequence I am doing work to be able to go to where they are and I try to consider their place.
Bighog presented his bio as a way to explain his viewpoint as a basis for explaining that I haven't played by his rules. Both are gone, I guess.
I am no big deal. No one is in the infinite scheme of things. But I thought there was a difference between a person working out responses and a person who is using bandwidth otherwise.
This has turned out to be a loss for me. I find that I do not have much of a taste for the kind of lifestyles that are emerging in the way they do to make the space we get to participate in.
I am very glad that the ES SCT journal had a million hits last year and they were all collegual; it is hard to imagine the effort that was made to keep that quality alive and well in ET. I guess a thread founded on baiting is totally expendable. I was just a little niave and reluctant, at first, to participate. I learned the hard way to not do that anymore. Giving up that work is hard to do simply because I was doing it to be able to make use of it in finshed copy someday. Now, I just consider it as a brief practice period.
