I was reading over a thread and, among many other upset comments, I found this one. I'm not here to repost hateful or hurtful comments, or to call anyone out. I simply feel that this quote is a very good summation of our current situation with the blues.
"I wish I could freely speak my mind on this topic, but I don't want to be banned."
I feel that with every passing day, CMs have gotten more and more detached from the community. In part, I suppose, because of its ability to be rather caustic at times. Even still, blues have been talking about opening the channels of public discourse, and I feel that as long as players feel this way, those channels will remain closed.
I think this is an issue that needs to be addressed directly--not as a demand for answers, but for the blues to tell us openly and plainly where we stand in relation to each other so we can work on how to communicate better.
