Colorful words
Sun May 13 19:02:50 2001
One thing that seems so apparent on this message board is the language 
that's used to help one make their point is unnecessarily colorful. 
It APPEARS those who are trying to prove their point about radio now, 
versus radio of the past, tend to use swear words. It's not necessary. 
In fact, what it does is takes away a great deal of credibility from the 
post.
 
The use of swear words is indicative of some of the new radio employees. 
Many have an attitude as if they have arrived and everyone else should 
step aside. It's an over-inflated ego with no substance. Whenever their 
point can't be made as a professional, they feel as if they have to 
swear to add impact. 

Regardless of whether one agrees with Gramps or not, once someone loses 
their cool and starts using swear words, they've lost. It's the same 
scenario when CC's Jeff Silvers used his brand of intimidation...there 
was no respect for the most part for him.
 
 THE HELM. It's a medium that will 
never go away. New technology or not, it's still going to be there. New 
comers to the business don't necessarily make it a better medium then it 
was. 

Let's cut the swearing and the egos...Intelligent discussion is what I 
believe this board is all about.

self regulation

Can we all be civil in our disagreements? The use of profanity on this 
message board will not be tolerated as of the posting of this message.
You can all agree to disagree on a variety of topics, but from this 
point on the use of profanity will not fly here. Messages containing 
profanity will be deleted. Also if this use becomes an epidemic, then I 
will probably have this message board discontinued.

I am hoping that you can all practice self restraint and discipline and 
refrain from the use of profanity.

Thank you all for understanding.
