NTAC has the worst reputation of any tg organization extant and
it is
because of the flame wars that go public on this list. The leadership
of
the other tg organizations think we're a bunch of nuts and loose cannons.
It does not take a rocket scientist to understand why NTAC does not
have
broad-based support in the community.
The future of NTAC lies in its ability to raise money to do the lobbying
work needed to help our community. The source of that money has got
to be
the larger community and not simply one or two people with deep pockets.
NTAC will never attract the money it needs if we continue to scare
off the
rest of the community.
There is an adage in marketing. If someone says something nice about
you,
they'll tell four other people. If they say something bad, they'll
tell
ten. Everytime we take our squabbles public, we alienate ten
more people.
The BS on this list has done more damage to NTAC's reputation than
you can
possibly imagine.
My patience has worn thin and I am tired of making excuses for NTAC
to my
peers. The next outburst of BS on this list will cause me to withdraw
my
support which means you will have to find another host for the NTAC
web
site and you can expect any monies from the TGFund to dry up.
It is never a good idea to piss off a person who has an open purse or
one
who owns a printing press. It's a fucking disaster to piss of someone
who
has both. Get my drift?
