"I'm standing my ground (until it crumbles under my feet!)"
Subject: Re: An Open Letter from US Software Development to Si1verP1atter and its Board
Thanks for saying this Andy. I too am disappointed and mad. Although this is an uncomfortable time, the response so far has confirmed we did the right thing. I regret that some people got involved with this that didn't agree truly agree with it.
BTW folks, forget about being empowered. John reamed me a new *^^$@#* -- not on the content of our letter, but the fact that it went to everyone. The "keep nothing in the unsaid" policy is apparently off. There seems to be plenty of "unsaid" strategy going on here too, which is why I am not attending the PS meetings. Once again, there will be changes occuring that were planned in advance without developer knowledge.
I'm standing my ground (until it crumbles under my feet!) If anything, this process will reveal the true character of all involved... sometimes not a pretty sight.
