Announcement posters regarding management

Quote:

1. I have not asked a single person to stay

2. I have not prevented anyone from leaving

3. I have said and continue to say, "I only want people who are willing to suffer."

4. That's my message, and in order to not distract from it, I will take a short break from the board, and Archaea will be manning the helm.

Because not everybody interprets Mikespeak easily, Mike has interpreted "suffer" differently than is common. Be patient might be one interpretation and tolerant of new things.

defining a word by subsuming within the new definition? The concept may be appropriate though.

It never ceases to amaze me how difficult you can be. I didn't define anything.

Longsuffering connotes patience. Suffering connotes pain. I think the first more accurately reflects Mike's meaning.

Okay, I agree with you. The word is a better fit, and it appears, without meaning to be, I was being difficult.

I'm sorry but this whole thing really only makes me laugh. As I'm not privy to any of the drama and none of it concerns me, I really don't care. And since I don't have enough time to post around here all day every day, maybe the snail's pace will be easier for me.

But wait, i don't like to suffer. So that's a problem.

Our word "patient" comes from the present active participle of the Latin "patior" (patiens)-- "to suffer."

Patience, then.

I find this all interesting. Please though don't tell me where the new site is or invite me. I know that is presumptious on my part.

I am already participating on too many sites and don't even go to the one I pay for anymore.

He requested that I as his Aaron, repeat the following points:

Tell Mike this is no time to take a vacation.
