There will always be differences between business people and craftsmen. Alot of
will arise in the future I'm sure, not involving RNT II and others, but other creators alike. That's business. I've placed bitterness and scorn where it belongs, to the wind.
I would much rather submit an idea to Brett and let him know what we are working on than to release something he feels is questionalble.
Brett's reply was sincere, I also wrote Jim Riser and Mike Brazill. I haven't heard back from Jim, but at the same time I didn't expect to, but I have made my piece, the same with Mike Brazill.
Mike was the founder of the original RNT and RNT II, but business is business and things happen. One thing I never did was close the door on Mike, I want everyone to know that. I have always left the door open for him to come back, this is not a spur of the moment thing either, important figures that were behind the scenes always new I made this offer and to this day if Mike were to say "I'd like to be part of the team again." The company would welcome him, it's always been that way. All fighting and mud sllinging aside, Mike has always and will always have a place here.
Despite differences between Jim and RNT II or me personally, I have always praised Jim's work. There are not many of us out there that do what we do and do so with pride to offer whatever we can to the community. Jim is talented, he makes beautiful products and of course is an asset to the community. What ALL of us need to do and I've wanted this since I've been here is to get along and work together. Not so much share ideas, but help and support one another.
God has blessed us all with our talents, there is no one else to really credit, God gave us skills and talents and we should always promote those talents of others in the most positive aspect possible. The world looks down on inbalance of harmony, but they will look up to craftsmen in the same trade that stand together and work in a professional manner without demeaning each other. It only hurts everyone when conflict arises.
I truely hope someday that Mike Brazill comes back, this is where he belongs. We could all be working together and making differences in magic again together, instead of fighting each other. This may be a high hope a pie in the sky that is out of reach, but the word HOPE is very strong emotion and sometimes dreams do come true.
Is the community ready for this to end? Hope so as I will not play part to any fighting anymore, while I will defend and only if there is a warrent to the company the best I can if we are attatcked but I will NOT get into name calling, exposing information that is privy to me or RnT II it will stay private.
So this is over, as I'm hoping the public is not Thriving on rivalry or drama.
Now if Mike would rejoin the team, we have a pedestel to put him up on.
Best,
Jake
