Announcement There have been in the last week or so 3 regrettable unrelated incidents in which our instructors have been the target of disrespectful activities. Whilst I wont go into details, suffice it to say that Kris, Tony & I are saddened by this. Our instructors are what breathes life into the site. Without the hard work of every one of them GMC would be a lot less than it is today, and they occupy a position of honor within GMC, for their achievements and willingness to help us all. Kris works hard to keep the new instructors coming in and working with them to ensure they make a good start with the high quality lessons that are a hallmark of GMC. Occasionally we lose instructors as they reluctantly decide to move on, so Kris can never stop his search for new instructors. Given the above, it should be no surprise that we are particularly upset about the disrespect that has been shown to our instructors in the cases mentioned above. If this were to continue, and an instructor were to leave because of something a member said or did, the whole of GMC would suffer. For this reason, please observe the following guidelines, and don't force us to take action in this area.

Im pretty amaized how a small comment I made ages ago about how I like to respect peoples veiws has come back and caused so much trouble out of knowhere Maybe this Illustrates just why I like to be so polite on forums I suspect that as his language is not English, he was not aware that the word was a bit strong. I don't disagree with Matt, and we need peacemakers, which I think is the kind of role Matt would play. But we also need some blunt honesty, even if it hurts a bit. Look at any coach, they don't sweet talk to the players all the time. Here is an example of our football coach this year. A player got a penalty for celebrating a touchdown, and they were able to pick up the coach ripping the player a new one. Still we lost only 1 game all year, won the Orange Bowl, one of the top post season bowls. Clearly he is a good coach. Warning...if you are offended by the 'f' word, don't listen. http://youtube.com/watch?v=zmAYpAzNB34 |
