Amail, FWIW, the older, crustier mods had this happen in the early days of the forum.
Some folks just don't understand the value of mentoring.
Or, they just don't "get" that you don't sh*t where you eat.
None of those folks are around here anymore.
They were all banned.
Some went quietly. Some were cut off in the middle of an argument.
And others, like bclark85, martyred themselves on the cross of self-righteousness, and endeavored to go out with their heads held high, delusion at its best (or worst, depending on how you look at it).
*******
MJ has created a singularly unique place here, on the web.
A place where older, more seasoned vets can share some of their expertise without fear or concern that those around them will shamelessly use their help against them.
It's stayed that way for many, many years.
I hope to see it continue for many more.
Funny thing about business:
Ethics is ethics is ethics. Not much has changed in the past 300 years.
Look at the story of ANYONE who has risen to the top.
Those who have appreciated their mentors and teachers go one way.
Those that f*ck over their teachers and mentors go the other.
It's a choice we all have to make.
