Reply to "Pantera Project Car Wanted"

I will admit I wrote to George a month or so back expressing 'concern' over the way I saw the forum was heading. I know of at least one other person who did similar as they contacted me after conversing with George.

I'm aware of one person in the last week who told me they no longer visit PI, specifically citing "1Rocketship" as the reason. A second I was searching for a post from, that person had left completely, all prior posts deleted. I do not know if that happens when one resigns or whether that individual felt it necessary to delete his record to disassociate with the forum. Either way it is a shame if true historical technical content is deleted.

Another factor is Employers will search out prospective employees on social media etc. so for some posting or being associated with other than technical discussion is something they are wary of. I admit it's tough to ignore some of the tirades, but I try to do so in an effort to not become part of the problem..... I don't always succeed. It is clear however to many that something needs to change. If as stated earlier we are all adults (notwithstanding poor Richard, who is probably more mature than some adults here!) then the guilty parties should be able to recognize the number of people speaking up, and thus take action to change and no further input would be required by George.

I would also respectfully request George try to separate this thread from Richard's original post/request. If I were him I think I'd already be looking for a different project, not because of the funding, simply reading the thread would have been enough!

Respectfully,
Julian
