Negativity is a destructive force....

Gordon's many posts have been made to inspire people - and often to make a point at the same time.

That he succeeds is a true gift.

That he bothers is a blessing for all of us.

As in any endeavor, there will always be people who can't deal with other people's wisdom. Remember the loud and unruly kid at the back of class who spoiled things for all the rest? Well those kids grow up. And sadly, sometimes they turn up on forums like this.

But the truth is that irritating as they might be, they are the ones with the problem, not the rest of us.

Gordon - please ignore the tiny minority of detractors. For every one of them, however vocal they may sometimes be, there are a hundred who are quietly trying to listen.

Dien - This is an excellent forum and Gordon's and other's posts have enriched it beyond measure. If you want to nuke the few people who can't engage in civil discourse, you have my full support.

Martin.
