Charles has been deleting everything. It's really funny. Just check the links. Very interesting Charles. Now why would you delete everything ?
Unless
: Man oh man. See how ugly this has all gotten?
: Charles kills himself for this industry. He's weary and punch-drunk and sick of trying to
pull artists together.
That is not my fault. That is what being a leader is about. Not ever reward is obvious. You
made reference to it when you talked about running your studio. You lead by example.
: You have become the object of his scorn, because as a member of the downtrodden Los
Angeles animation community, you didn't put your hand in. You undoubtedly had your
reasons ... and probably good reasons.
And that is why you are a leader. A firm choice that you expect no one else to follow .
There is no anger in your writing. You just believe in it yourself and those that follow do
so because it is their own conviction.
Right now I am sick. I am not at all well. That doesn't seem to matter nor does my point of
view.
: He slapped the LA community in the face and thus has become the object of your jabs.
: You guys trade vituperative postings ... and like exhausted fighters, your attacks become
less focused and less effective.
I was defending, not attacking.
: Me? I can be less passionate because, hey, I can go back to Chicago when it's all over.
: But saving this business really will require the laying aside of differences, and the
forgiveness of trespasses.
: You're all a brilliant, talented bunch of guys and gals.
: Please figure it out. Because when you sneeze, we catch your cold in Chicago.
Charles wants me to leave and so I will if he does not keep calling me back. Good luck in
Chicago Mr Jon.
