There’s a few issues that we should discuss here.. I wanted to wait until the dust settled so that I could weigh in on the controversies.  My apologies, since this is actually my first podcast, so obviously, a bit more practice will be needed.

I would love your thoughts on the following

1. Credibility

2. Transparency and Honesty to our readers

3. The need to evolve and grow as a collaboration, keeping true to our creed of freedom of discussion and debate.

4. Celebrating participation in political discourse.

Caveat: I talk in the podcast about not condoning what Pat has written in his blog.. this is not the case, what I meant was that I have not condoned some of the actions he has taken in being so adversarial and questioning those who do not agree with him.  Also, this is not a challenge to Pat only, but as well as those who were involved, because I sincerely disagree with how the whole debacle was taken to extremes, way out of control.  I sincerely keep the respect I have for all the writers, and although I will disagree with their actions, I will always keep these things in a non personal basis.
