Well, That Was Fun!

Ike's recent post elicited all sorts of reactions, comments, back and forth emails--the works! Due to the firm and kind family guidance he has since received he has acknowledged that the Sink was not the proper forum for cut and paste diatribes.

I know where he's coming from in a sense. Some time ago, I engaged in trying to educate my family in my strongly held beliefs but I ended up feeling like I was taking advantage of the family forum for my own devices.  That led me to create my own blog for such emotional outbursts and perhaps that is something Ike can consider. 

As "authors" to your own posts on this family blog, you have the right to have second thoughts about what you have written and can delete what you've posted.  As ultimate administrator of the Sink, and in the spirit of my ongoing desire to promote participation from one and all, I choose not to delete this little chapter in our family's history. Yesterday's events were monumental, the discussion important, and, I suspect, even the comment posted by ANONYMOUS (in caps) was someone in the family, or very close to it, wanting to speak without being identified (note the frequent reference to "Morgans" although we are much more than that).  And, after all, the whole thing has been rather entertaining, no?

Notice that any family websites I am aware of are posted in the sidebar as "interesting" other links for anyone to peruse if they are so inclined. Let me know if you want something listed. I even shamelessly list my own business website! And will freely list any of yours!  More links the better!

So in the spirit of Obama, I remain as admin for "red" and "blue" but more dedicated to one somewhat united family. 

I cannot imagine having this conversation from one side of the country to the other without the Sink, can you?

  1. Bones,
    As usual I am the first to respond to you, though not a single beloved family member responded to my 2 comments within the record-breaking words of the past few days. My boy Chris said I simply wasn't combative enough . . . I guess I'd better work on that. I am so grateful to you, Bonnie, for your great diplomacy. Maybe you should run for an American Ambassador position.
    love,
    mickey
