It seems when they can't find something new, they dig out old worries and flog them.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps some postes should look to the purpose of BLOGs...they are online diaries basically. As my page says, my thoughts , about Oracle and non-Oracle topics.<BR/><BR/>As I have said before, I don't always agree with Tom, but I do try to respect him as he is out there helping folks for the most part. Some others seem to spend a majority of their time tearing others down rather than providing new material.<BR/><BR/>I would never premise a presentation with how I was going to basically ridicule anothers work. I try not to use names, but when those folks use mine with gay abandon I am forced to retaliate.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863836374532649517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11462313.post-1114579621659257602005-04-26T22:27:00.000-07:002005-04-26T22:27:00.000-07:00Ad Nauseum"It does no good to get down in the mud ...<B>Ad Nauseum</B><BR/><I><BR/>"It does no good to get down in the mud and wrestle with pigs, you can't win and the pigs enjoy it."<BR/></I><BR/><BR/><B>Standing By</B><BR/><I><BR/>....but not in a public forum where it could humiliate or embarrass them.<BR/></I><BR/>could you identify the contradiction.

I fail to see the point of this post. This post is by far the most un-professional writeup yet. You make it sound like these other guys (and I'm sure you are mostly directing this at Tom) don't have anything to do.<BR/>The things that Tom posts have personally helped me in my career in a huge way. I frankly don't understand the hostility...djbckrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05173755911970829840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11462313.post-1114547325925519822005-04-26T13:28:00.000-07:002005-04-26T13:28:00.000-07:00I'm glad my message came across correctly.

It is more in the line of let's get on with more important things. I go to other sites and they are stiring up the same crap over and over again like they can't move on. A big waste of energy and time. This was my attempt to say I am not playing that game anymore.<BR/><BR/>Am I better or worse than they are? That s for time and others to judge, I am just trying to get out of the rut they have built and get on to more important topics.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863836374532649517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11462313.post-1114538851182540462005-04-26T11:07:00.000-07:002005-04-26T11:07:00.000-07:00What was the purpose of this post?

Sometimes the things we see or hear bother us and over time we need to let it all out. A personal blog is definitely a good place to do so.<BR/><BR/>The other possibility is to somehow en-noble (that isn't a word, but I hope its understandable) yourself. An "I'm better than the people I'm about to talk about because I have taken the high road and am not doing this, that, and the other thing.".<BR/><BR/>While I would like to think it was a vent, the connotations throughout were that of malicious self-promoting. Abusing the reputation of others (even anonymously) to make yourself seem better in comparison.Bob Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13464375753246942690noreply@blogger.com
