i’m off

Posted in life at 11:39 am by

Well friends, after a torrid day of posting yesterday, today I’ll have to leave you with those freshly minted posts. Hopefully, the two or three of you who show up here and read regularly will be sufficiently ‘tided over’ with those entries.

I am off to sunny (and hopefully warm) Florida for the weekend this afternoon. (Yes, it’s quite a long weekend.) Thus, I probably won’t be posting for a bit. Visit some links on the sidebar, and I’ll be back in action soon–hopefully by Monday.

Adios,
Brandon

A long Addendum:

It occurs to me that I should probably help to set the record straight about one of the topics of the ccm post below. Namely, in the past I and others have given a wrong impression about Christian Music Makeover. Allow me to briefly set the record a bit straighter.

1. If I ever gave the impression that Christian Music Makeover was anything other than a website, I was wrong. It’s a website about a band, that’s it.

2. The name of the site is, in fact Christian Music Makeover, not Making of the Christian Band, or anything else.

3. In fairness, I’m not entirely sure that the intent of the page I critiqued about the spiritual makeover of the band is intended to serve as a spiritual makeover for anyone other than the band. (Of course, neither is the page with the disclaimer about exercizing too much.)

4. Brian never sent a cease and desist ORDER to anyone, per se. He did send a request to a friend of mine that requested that he cease and desist from spreading inaccuracies and participating in what Brian perceived as personal attacks.

5. The creator of the site, Brian Mayes, has, in fact, been open to dialogue. My post was created in response to that openness to dialogue. I also welcome the dialogue of others particularly of differing opinions on the issues I’ve presented. What Brian has gone on the record (via CCM Buzz) about not being open to, is personal attacks. I expect that if a dialogue ensues on this site, that no personal attacks will be a part of said dialogue.

    Can I add an addendum? I’ve not been following CCMBuzz, but I will say that Brian has a very, very broad definition of “personal attacks” ;)

    Yes, of course you can James. (And thus my edit.) And as far as I know, there really hasn’t been much discussion on CCMBuzz post the article retraction there. (Despite noise that this was an important issue.)
