[TheForge] Abana/George Dixon/Mr. Hightower

[Loktr at aol.com]

I am an Abana member,  I respect George and admire his work.  Having said 
this,  I too have a stake in what is going on.  I believe that dirty linen only 
gets clean by being aired out.   I welcome the exchange and if I cant deal with 
it at some point i will use the delete button.

I would like to hear Dave Mudge,s views on what is going on.  He seems to be 
one of the few willing to be open.

Blacksmithing content frequently on the forge is almost non existent,  that 
does not mean I wont read it.  I have a choice.

Mr. Hightower, you may be right, George may be a ornery pain in the ass, 
angry etc.
That does not mean however that he has not been  wronged by an organization 
that despite perhaps the best of intentions has certainly acted in a high 
handed and punitive manner.  The fact that he has not been silenced speaks well of 
him and the fact that Abana has spent "our" resources trying to shut him up 
speaks poorly of "us".
