Civil in tone. Informative. Personal. By turns, critical or supportive of management, but not over the top. Good job. (I can't believe you punched a fat kid in the stomach just "for the fun of it." Say it ain't so.)<br><br><hr id="zwchr"><b>From: </b>"King Collins" <king@greenmac.com><br><b>To: </b>kzyxtalk@lists.mcn.org<br><b>Sent: </b>Friday, March 7, 2014 5:18:13 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>[Kzyxtalk] Well? The KZYX Forum?<br><br>The KZYX Forum?<br><br>Okay, I'll start with a super positive note: I think it was the best candidates forum I ever attended and as you know I hold that record. <br><br>But then I couldn't listen in. I think there was a good spirit among the candidates. In fact, there was enough intelligence around the table to keep me interested. <br><br>The questions were weird, and of course censored. Well, you know, if people were allowed to call in someone might use a bad word. Anyway the questions were weird and a couple of times I just couldn't answer straight, like: Are you a hard worker? Will you lick stamps? And you a team player? <br><br>But I thought the responses were good and revealing. And, unequivocally I can say that I liked every one there. <br><br>There. How's that for a positive start?<br><br>king<br><br>P.S. My genuine apology to Michael Kisslinger. I think I have a mean streak and it comes out sometimes, like the time in Sunday School when I punched a fat kid in the stomach just for the fun of it. And he cried. And I felt like such an asshole, and I was. <br><br>So I apologize for calling you an authoritarian. It was a reflex, not thought out or anything. But Michael, think about it. You cut me off as I was making my passionate closing statement. I, the Liberator, cut off whilst trying to read the last sentence of the Great Petition demanding that the Lords speak to the Peasants. That was not nice, Michael. Not that it is an adequate excuse for calling you a name. You probably didn't understand the epic significance of the moment. So, I apologize. kc<br>_______________________________________________<br>Kzyxtalk mailing list<br>Kzyxtalk@lists.mcn.org<br>http://lists.mcn.org/mailman/listinfo/kzyxtalk<br></div></body></html>
