My thinking is that our website is founded on the principle, and social commitment of "respect for others". I give Jim a lot of credit for both "talking the talk" and for "walking the walk". We are trying to be a band of friends. A few months ago, the mods were very proud that there were few interventions, as they are something we (the mods) wish never had to happen. Recently, things have changed.
Honestly, most of the issues, and almost all of the interventions by the mods, have center about PMTS related issues. I understand how Josh feels about being told that his skiing does not conform to certain movement patterns. I understand how a L3 PSIA instuctor reacts about being told that his organization/personal knowledge is incorrect. I also understand Harb's challenges to the PSIA community (and agree with most of what he states). I understand how the PMTS community feels the need to speak about ineffective PSIA instruction.
In our world, some see issues as "black and white", i.e. It's either right or wrong. Others see the world in "different shades of grey", which is to say, they see both sides. If you have been trained in "Myers Briggs", you know the concepts of Judgemental of Perceiving. I live in the grey scale world and tend to see both sides. The differences, between the two groups basic thinking, is known to be a major source of distention. It's not as simple as "right and wrong", both sides have truth.
So, I do not favor a war zone. State your beliefs, that's fine by me. Differences exist. But at 2 a.m. when I can't sleep and thing about all the issues in my life, how I turn my skis is not one of them.
