[Rhodes22-list] therapeutic reply to Todd that the rest of ou can skip

[Todd Tavares]

 Alright Stan,

    I am very busy lately, but I will enjoy answering all points it time, so we can sort this out and separate fact from fun and paraphrase.

    Before starting though, please understand that I do not speak for, nor support Art in whatever disputes you have with him. I was only 
talking about making commercial posts to the List.  He was attacked by a few members unfairly because of the nature of his post(s).

    Additionally I do not dispute that GB's contribution to the List is beneficial to many if not most -- only the idea that GB continuing financial
health is the one and only reason the List survives. In fact, I hope GB stays in business for many more years...at least until I finish paying
for my kids' college tuition so I can finally afford to buy a recycled Rhodes 22.

Todd T.

Dear Todd,

In your e-mail of 1/20/10 you say, "don't bring me into this",  "don't put words 
in my mouth" and sign "straight shooter".   So I know you will allow me the 
sport, fun and right of follow up, checking how on or off target you may be:

"don't bring me into this".   Too late  You already brought yourself into our 
holistic issues with your prior e-mails.

In your e-mail of 12/29/09 you say I said that, "membership to this list be 
conditional upon agreement to giving GB a 5% commission".  I do not recall ever 
saying this.  If you can show me that quote I will apologize to the List.  If 
you cannot, I would expect your apology to the List for putting words in my 
mouth. 

In other e-mails inserting yourself in the fray, you posted that it is Art who 
is being (your words) "vilified and berated".  Come on straight shooter,  you 
know the fact is it is GB who is being harassed by Art not following the rule of 
law and breaking agreements and that it is GB who presented a proposal of 
resolution that, as far as I know, Art has ignored.   Until this matter is 
equitably resolved it will keep coming up.  And, until resolved, GB's response 
to calls of help from GB, will be per George Bush's, "You are either with us or 
against us" - we feel that betrayed.

We will not bring you in (unless you ask) to any future give and take on the 
issues of GB's value to re-sales or the List's well being;.   We know that in 
your humble opinion the GB position is "insane" and that in GB's humble opinion 
GB's contributions to the demand and price level of re-sales and the List's 
growth and longevity, are priceless - that something like the 5% 
"loyalty/royalty" notion is a mad bargain.   Of course the fact that you and I 
are at the productive end of these 2 issues does not mean I will not enjoy 
further debate with anyone else who is still not clear on the arguments or even 
the analogies like the "Shakers", now that I am adopting my new hero's position 
on basic survival conflicts of  "Bring it on".
