it was a tough time for sure, if you member I had just started baking, maybe a couple of weeks when all that SHTF, I had no opinion either way, just wanted the board to keep going, the split wasn't good for the board, that is still my only opinion, I don't point fingers because I wasn't involved enough then to have an opinion
totally unaware, really, I was just to learn to bake, in my profession there is the "discipline" with protocols and procedures, practice, then there is individual license, meaning I am "it", I was trying to learn the "discipline" while learning to be "it" as well, so no backroom knowledge whatsoever, I know FJ was attacked, I didn't care why, he was the BO so he made the rules, that was all I knew
I'm not sure how anons feel about it, really, they do think bakers should be mind readers, collectors of all things posted and many have said that bakers should know what to collect, and if I don't I shouldn't be baking, there weren't any other bakers for a long time, it's a luxury to have this time now to ruminate and post, I understand some of what's going on, have a feel for what is good to note but they want pages of notables, for which they don't read or keep up with, surely they don't have an understanding as you do, G was kind to work with me through those times, I've not forgotten that, I let him know I remembered, not many old fags out there, a few for sure, we joke about it when something comes up, so my question is, then, as I am sure the board is "handled", the column was outed, left for another so qr could regroup, I was welcomed back to bake after the shut down
thank you for the hindsight, always helps, there were many things at play with board moves, keeping up with the info, Q, and I was woefully unprepared for board politics when I started, really just jumped in to keep the board going, I enjoyed it that much, learned to navigate tech issues with ease, never got my speed up and back, tech issues bogged down for so long not sure I can even do it now, willing to step back, good times, the best but there is change again, I'm OK with that, home life is stepping up for me now as well, do appreciate your time to inform, chroniclers are always good, tyvm
you get to pick your frens but not your fam, veli and I started at the same time, many times there was no one else but he and I and we managed pretty well, the fact that we worked well together is a testament to his patience, nothing more, my opinions of bakers is purely from my interactions with them but you have to admit splitting the board caused a deep schism, one anons didn't and don't need, that was my only gripe with that, as for notables, there are those who want to turn the board into MSM, those who want fame for getting one and then there is stuff that is q related and they seem to be fairly mutually exclusive, that is my gripe with notables, anything that educates is good, the more notables there are the less likely anons are going to read and absorb, my 2 cents
