Not worried at all.

If the sky is falling you can either stop it or you can't. The new owner will either be open to suggestions or not.

Its too early to tell, I say we forgo the panic until its needed. :)

sometimes people just need to know that their concerns, thoughts and yes--even just plain old reactions--have been heard. That's it--just acknowledged and heard.
Belittling anyone's feelings helps no one. Letting people share their thoughts can be productive---as long as it's done constructively.

I don't know who is belittling anyones feelings.

Noone has said - your thoughts are not valid.

It was the tone of the presentation that I found a little hard to stomach.

didn't say you did. Was making a general observation and comment.

No, I don't think I have said that - I meant I haven't seen anyone else say that......

I might have missed it, but I did read the entire thread, so I don't think I did.

here are some belittling comments...

People bitching sound like spoilt brats
(accusing people who are stating their opinions that they are bitching and sound like spoiled brats. So stating their thoughts are not valid)

You brats need to chill.
(accusing people again who are concerned that they are brats and need to keep their opinions to themselves)

lol - yeah, like I said previously too - expressing concern and being rude are 2 different things.

Well, at least in my household.

If someone cooked me a meal out the blue, and I said.

"omg, you cooked for me, I might not LIKE it, did you even THINK to ask what I wanted? How do you even know I am hungry???!"

Compared to

"wow, that's very kind of you, thank you. What is it we're having? I love chicken.... not so keen on liver... I did eat earlier, but I'll try some and we can save what's left for later"

I'd say that opinion/concern is rude.

Exactly..!!!

and if I want people to be polite.. the best way is to lead by example.

Its strange that you are concerned with other people's manners as one of those quotes was from you. If you feel that that behaviour is inappropriate perhaps you should not perpetuate it ;)

I think, Dekka, you are not so different from me than you'd like to maybe think ;)

However, I always try respect the hand that feeds me.

Bringing it back up again and again reminds me of the saying the more you stir it the more it stinks, possibly the best advice i ever learned from my old boss was that saying....why not let it rest..wait and see what happens..rehashing it over and over again does nothing. Pointing fingers at each other does nothing. It is what it is so why not sit back and see what happens. WE might be pleasantly surprised.
