So apparently issue was taken with this post…

I don’t normally go out of my way to flesh out these issues in a public fashion like this, but 1) When it involves someone prominent in rescue who may try to relay a certain opinion of me onto others, 2) The fact that I was being talked down to and misconstrued pretty absurdly, and 3) This provides an opportunity for the community itself to maybe look in the mirror–then it becomes important for me to just put the reality of the situation out and into the open for all to take from it what they choose. It is what it is.

What follows is my attempt at explaining my initial post, as well as explaining my disapproval of a certain tactic, while trying to remain civil (which hopefully shows through from my side). The last handful of responses from Kris pretty much cemented the fact that I was going to go ahead and publish this.
