G+_Lisa Borel Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Lou Gagliardi I understand that you don't like the NSA and related discussions on TWiT. However, I think you have missed the point of the show entirely. This is not something new, the show's format has always been to discuss what is felt to be news worthy in the current climate of technology, which the discussions are. There have been plenty of other stories in the past that have fallen along the same lines, some I have tuned out because I did not care about the story, some I found very interesting. Rather than whine and complain about it, I simply took the high road and let it be. You certainly have the right to complain, I won't say that you do not. But a single complaint will do. To complain every week, and say you are done with the show, and yet never follow through, is a hollow threat. That is why it gets on the nerves of other people who then complain back at you in your posts. (by the way, if you have to turn the comments off on your posts because you can't handle the discussion, maybe that should be a sign) In short, if you read this, I would like to just say that you are entitled to your opinion, but instead of just saying "I'm done, this is BS" over and over, either make good on your statement, or stop saying it. Because it's old, and tired, and sullies an otherwise enjoyable community on G+ Good Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Travis Crawford Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 The fun thing? I don't have to prove anything. (however, a quick search of the TWiT discussion posts shows plenty) But you have had several posts/comments since June 8th complainging about how you don't want "political" discussion, only "technology" discussion. That was my point, I get that you don't like it, but one time of saying you are done and leaving is enough. If that is how you feel, then do something about it, rather than continually telling everyone that is what you are going to do. My other point was that I feel you have missed the idea behind the show. It is a news roundtable discussion, the NSA/Snowden story is important, and relevant. Lastly, your post from April 28 about privacy, completely invalidates your stance, based on the fact that it is a political discussion on the "technology" discussion board. So, in less than 2 months, you went from starting a discussion about a similar topic here, to complaining that it was happening on TWiT. I SAID GOOD DAY!

G+_Travis Crawford Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Ok, so I exaggerated to make a point. One that clearly touched a nerve. But my point is valid. 'nuff said A for disabling the comments, that's just a way to avoid the backlash. The sign I was referring to is the sign you posted something you knew would get a reason, then stifled the reaction. Can't stand the heat? Get out if the kitchen son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Travis Crawford Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 No, that wasn't my point. Read it again. Actually read it. The point is quite clear. And, you continue to prove it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Travis Crawford Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 You have failed, even given multiple attempts, to see this particular first for the trees. You haven't listened, just easier for your turn to speak. How about we agree to disagree, and move on. Clearly I can not get through... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_MartinJJ NoAgenda Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The No Agenda Community was also "pleasantly" surprised with mr Gagliardi's visit though one of our own members foolishly instigated it. I will withhold all the faulmouthing and only share one of his ideas: "Do I support a podcasting license? yes, I do. absolutely. you need one for tv, for ham, and for other forms of radio, you should need one for podcasting." After very tiring 'debates' we finally revoked his 'license of free speech'. And his reaction can be found on his profile: "Just an FYI my friend, I will be reporting your google+ profile once a day due to the naming policy. Want to be a coward? Awesome! Here's how I deal with cowards." I leave it up to your own judgement what to make of him. Thx Moderator NA Community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
