Alice, I don't think that's what Dennis meant at all. I believe he was pointing out that Colin was absurd in asserting that the opinions expressed in a single thread on BP.net were any more valid than the opinions expressed on any other site...especially as many of the same members participate in those multiple sites. Colin seemed to have said that because a few BP.net folks spoke favorably of Reptster that that is all that should matter. And I do agree with Dennis...that is absurd.
I also really don't think this case of what has happened at Fauna is anything remotely like "business politics." I don't deny that such practices occur...I've seen it plenty of times. But in this case, I simply don't see it. The facts are laid out quite clearly in the Fauna thread and I won't rehash them here....but one thing stands out unique among all others....there's not a single person that I know of on ANY side of this issue that wanted David to screw this up and fail.
