No Jason. The difference is that if I disagree with someone, I don't get in the way of what they are trying to accomplish or give them negativity if they are trying to do something good, even if I disagree with it. I am not asking anyone to agree with me; just not be negative about the programs that I, and others, are working hard on.
I could give you long lists of things I don't like about the way tournaments are run; about the way the USBGF is being run; about the way local clubs are run. And I have no problem expression my thoughts and suggestions privately, but I don't feel the need to come out publicly and criticize and undermine their efforts just because I don't completely agree with everything they are doing.
People who don't think getting decent boards into the hands of new players is important are certainly entitled to their opinion. But do they have to express it while I, and others, are working hard to do this, because we believe it is important, and while we are asking for help and cooperation from others? To what purpose and benefit is their "opinion" at this time?
The world is full of people who are willing to tear down and criticize, to hindsight and find fault with what other people are doing. I can't say what each person's motive is--they can't stand to see others doing something they are not in control of or didn't think of themselves? Or they simply like to be contrary and pick a fight? Who knows? All I am saying is that it is not helpful or productive or supportive.
Sure, I can just ignore it, but I choose not to. If people don't like it, that's fine with me. I'm not running for office.
