drumlaw80 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 My blog posts about the lack of competition in DCA caused some controversy. Some anger. But many people, including Buccaneers, engaged me on the issue either through respectful and polite emails, or comments on my blog. This was awesome, even when people disagreed. Because I don’t have all the answers. The solution for DCA needs to be a group solve, and it needs to happen soon. Unfortunately, with all this great dialogue, came accusations that I am out to harm to the Buccaneers. I expected that my final thoughts on this topic, were in fact, the final thoughts on the topic. But, I’m not 100% comfortable leaving the anti-Buccaneer statements out there unanswered, allowing current Buccaneers fans and members, and the denizens of Drum Corps Planet, to think that I am trying to hurt the Buccaneers. Because, I'm not. So, I wrote a rebuttal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I think the problem is some of your ideas were perceived to be heading in that direction. I didn't think so, but you know how people are 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumcorpsfever Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 The title of the discussion thread brought me in. However, I think this is much about nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenweaver Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hey Lee, Maybe you should try to get others involved without creating unnecessary controversy around the subject that you are trying to talk through. Why mention the Reading Buccaneers at all? Your posts look just like a marketing trick to get people to read your blog, which just swirls around the negativity. If you are truly the Buccaner that you say you are, maybe you should find another way to draw attention to the issues that concern you specifically, instead of creating unnecessary attention to the Buccaneers, in a somewhat negative light. Are there issues? Yes. Are you helping to fix any of them? No. You are using catchy subject lines to draw attention to your lack of relevance in DCA today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
