Bnpositive Communication

WARNING: This is a long one!

Some of you may or may not have noticed the post a few days ago about the Great Heely Debate of 2007. As people began commenting on my post, I responded in the comments to let people know I’d respond with a follow-up post later. Here’s the follow-up post as promised.

First, I need to clarify a few things that I failed to mention in my original post.

1. Kim?and I had already had an extended discussion that evening on the matter and had come to the agreement that she would take back the Heelys.
2. It was?Kim’s idea to put a poll up on the blog to see what other people thought.
3. Kim didn’t think my reasons (which I’ll discuss below) had much merit, or were any more or less legitimate than her own.
4. Kim agreed to submit to my request and authority on the decision, even though as she said she was disagreeing on the inside.

With all of that being said I’d like to say a few things to a few people:

• First to Kim, I apologize (which I’ve already told her in person) for throwing down my initial response and communication in the blog?as an “edict” without first having a discussion about it so she could understand all of my why’s behind my decision.
• To everyone that responded in comments. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your time to come to the site, read the post and share your opinions. It was great to hear from so many of you that I haven’t heard from in years.
• To everyone that didn’t understand why in the world I’d do this, or just disagree completely. Relax! In my opinion this was just an open and honest discussion about a question that crossed my path in life.

If you’re still interested in all of this, feel free to continue reading after the jump.
