I think if you are willing to dish it out you have to be willing to take it.

The “Pro’s” contributions were very valuable. But often times with any type of communication, it is not just what is said but how it is said. Regardless as to how great the information is. You can not put down other person’s artistic expression and or try to belittle the person and expect to be received well by people.

What made it worst is that instead of sticking around and trying to mend differences (even if it meant admitting some personality or communication short comings), he resorted to calling members here names like “kids” and packing up and leaving.

I would say however, it was clever to have that posting about leaving to get favorable comments and or sympathy. I am not saying it was intentional but it didn’t seem to be a bad byproduct.
