Forgive me if I'm not my usual 100% coherent self, as I indulged a "bit" at lunch (Rosé Cava with some of my favourite sushi.) But, I can only speak for myself. I listen A LOT. Actually, I tend to listen much more than I ever speak. I also, guarantee you, there are two sides to the story. The truth, is always somewhere in the middle. Me, well, I just hate to see good communities "die." Some might not believe my intentions, but that's fine with me. Since, I am solid with my actions and how I treat and interact with others. Promises, I don't really need promises. I've never been motivated by such things. I do what I feel is right, and I do it at 150%.

Maybe so. But what does that solve? Very few from NL actually follow this thread (until, I mentioned it). So, who is this person talking to? FlyerTalk? Convincing himself and others that they are right? What's the point really? I've been asking, in a very honest way, for feedback good and bad since the beginning of February. I've empowered people to pursue what they want. I've encouraged transparency, except for when it comes to things that have to do with proprietary business model. Is it really ever effective to complain somewhere else, when the source is
ASKING for your feedback?
Most of the complaints on this forum, are about other blogs and bloggers. But, if those bloggers were engaged in these threads and asked for feedback. If they asked, "what can I/we do better," do you believe
sbm12, the right course of action is to complain here? I'm still waiting for my constructive feedback. But, it's only 15:11 CET; so perhaps, it will come prior to the end of the day.
It's easy to complain. But, when someone says "maybe your are right," let's see if we can address those issues. Silence. Not sure I can agree with that course of action.
