Re: EOG's Code of Conduct (Effective Immediately)
Hello,
How's everyone been? Fine, I'm sure. Just got back to reading the balance of this thread, and some interesting, and of course less than interesting comments.
To begin. A week ago do you want to know who was the guy I most looked forward to reading? Guesses? Comptr Bob. The Comptr Bobs of this industry were the reason this site interested us in attempting to acquire it, which in hindsight dragged on for over a period of years. We felt the site could be so much more. The intent? Drive up the traffic numbers and revenue and flip it and move on to the next one.
One thing that is obvious to me is that in its present state, even allowing for the many years this site has been in existence, it will be difficult to grow the base when someone walking in the door for the first time is subjected to insults, derogatory remarks and what have you. Sometimes you have to take a few steps back in order to be able to go forward.
And get this, as I was leaving the office (in CR) somebody asked me if I was aware who Joey Donuts was/is, I replied I have no idea. After learning the name I had to laugh, because he and his family came to my home for dinner years ago and we all had a good time. I liked the kid. A lot.
This morning I was reading a story about the team I follow in the NBA and at the conclusion of the article in the comment section the dialog was quite insightful and respectful... just like you guys.
