A perspective

[Mad Russian]

Ah, reflection time for us then is it?

I know exactly where you are coming from. You and I are alot alike. We even react generally in the same way. Which sometimes produces sparks.

"Not all of the quick decisions I make are bad. But almost all of the bad decisions I make have been quick."

Those of us that are addicted to our hobbies are all in the same boat.

We put untold hours into it. Nobody does it for the pay. I don't know anybody that is actually making playing wargames profitable but if you are out there I'd like to talk with you.

For some, this isn't our primary site, but one of a couple that we frequent, because of the different flavor that each brings. The Blitz is unique and different and for that you are all to be commended.

People don't get excited over things that are meaningless to them. Consider that when a member brings an issue to the Blitz as well. If they are bringing an issue it's because it's important to them. The administrators and officers work hard. Those efforts are appreciated but without the membership coming and posting all that would be for nothing.
There shouldn't be an adversarial atmosphere between those that run the site and those that use it in the first place. Both are striving for the same situation. A place for gamers to come together for the betterment of the hobby. Whether that is playing it, supporting if financially, promoting it, making scenarios/playtesting/running tournaments/participating in tournaments...whatever it is, it's all for the betterment of OUR HOBBY!

It's where we all spend at least some of (most of) our free time.

I just recently had an issue where I upset a gamer because I failed in a form of communication. It's easy to do on the internet/pm's/emails. Our hobby isn't large enough for us to do damage to it and think it doesn't matter because it does. Ultimately what affects one of eventually affects us all.

So, if I have in the past been less than cordial myself, I'm sorry. I tend to be blunt. Especially if I respond immediately! I myself will work on that in the future for the good of the hobby as well.

Now, time for more CM!

Good Hunting.
