I thought the thread was a joke at first. Anyway, it doesn't matter much if someone wants to say something sucks. I can always choose to respond if I want.

As for the quote above, that kind of strikes a nerve. I don't like to be perceived as clique-ish, it implies a shallowness and lack of tolerance for opinions. I hate cliques, fraternaties, and the like.

That being said, I can see where you're coming from, kirk. The "bickering" does make it seem like we're a bunch of snobs to the "outside world".

But it's easy to catch a false impression - after a few times of looking at "producer of the year", it can be perceived as a superiority thing (although I'm certain it is not intended as such).

I post so much because it is so easy and is a great way of communication. And I can't help if we have differences. Hopefully we can get some other differences in here too!

So what I am trying to say is that I do not care what the perception is, because I cannot control it. I can only do my best to be fair and open-minded. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't............
